How do I get trade plates?

The only way to get genuine trade plates is through the DVLA. You need to go onto the gov.uk/trade-licence-plates website and download the VTL301 form to apply for your first trade licence. The form will ask you what type of business you run, plus the name, address and other business details.

Can you borrow trade plates?

please! Yes. Having a quick google on this suggests it's not a straight yes or no. For example you can't borrow someone else's trade plates.

Are my trade plates valid?

Trade plates are temporary number plates to be used on unlicensed cars. You need to apply to the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) for a trade licence. Trade licences last for 6 or 12 months, and expire on 30th June or 31st December.
