Important before we make your plates
DOCUMENT CHECKS.
As a DVLA-registered supplier, Ace Auto Locks must see the original documents proving your identity and entitlement to the registration before making road-legal number plates. An uploaded photo on its own is not sufficient.
We'll arrange a suitable way to check the originals before any order is manufactured. We also keep the required sales records.

PLATE FAQs.
Quick answers before you place your order. Not sure which finish suits your vehicle? Call us and we'll help.
Call 07771 788253Are 3D and 4D number plates road legal?
They can be, provided the completed plates meet all applicable UK rules, including character style, spacing, reflectivity, supplier markings and BS AU 145e requirements. We confirm compliant options before making road-use plates.
What documents will I need?
We need to check accepted original proof of identity and original proof that you're entitled to use the registration. We'll explain the options before manufacture. Photos alone do not replace these checks.
Can I send document photographs online?
In future, an encrypted upload may let us review documents in advance. Uploading ordinary photos does not, by itself, replace the checks of required originals before manufacture. This preview does not transmit files.
Can I order just one number plate?
Yes. Standard printed single plates start at £15. For single 3D or 4D plates, request a quote so we can confirm the correct price.
Can you post the plates or fit them?
The proposed shipping charges are £7.95 for Tracked 48 and £9.95 for Tracked 24. For eligible plate orders over £44.99, standard tracked delivery is free and the express upgrade is £2. Collection by arrangement is free. These are Ace prices for the checkout design, subject to verifying postcode coverage and carrier costs before launch.
Can I pay on this website?
Not yet. You can try a simulated checkout on this page. Live FreeAgent / GoCardless payments will only be enabled after the integration is built and tested.
