Number plates for Brighton and the Sussex coast
Number plates Brighton drivers can trust, from a DVLA-registered supplier, posted to Brighton, Hove, Worthing, Eastbourne and the rest of the coast with free tracked delivery.
5.0 on Google · hundreds of reviewsSearch for a number plate maker in Brighton and Google mostly shows garages, car accessory shops and websites rather than a local workshop. Customers from the south coast tell us the same thing: there aren’t many dedicated plate makers down there that they’d trust.
We’re not on the coast. Our workshop is in Cranford, near Heathrow, and that’s where every set is made by our own team. What we can do is get the number plates Brighton customers order to their door quickly, with the paperwork done properly, for less than the cost of the petrol to come and see us.
It’s a long way to drive for a set of plates
Here’s how long the drive to our workshop takes from along the coast. That’s one way, so double it for the round trip.

Some south coast customers still make the trip, and a few have driven close to two hours to reach us because they wanted a supplier they could rely on. We appreciate it, but you don’t need to. For number plates Brighton-bound, posting is quicker:

“No documents needed”? Walk away
Some sellers who show up when you search for number plates Brighton-wide promise plates with no paperwork. It sounds convenient, but it tells you they either aren’t registered or aren’t following the rules that every registered supplier has to follow.
DVLA register
Anyone who makes or sells number plates must be on the DVLA’s register of number plate suppliers. We are.

The fine a seller can face for supplying plates without being registered.
3 years
How long a registered supplier must keep a record of every set, including the buyer’s name, address and entitlement to the registration.
A seller can’t keep those records without asking who you are and checking the registration is yours. That’s why, for all the number plates Brighton customers order, we ask for photo ID and your V5C (or another document on our valid documents list) on every order. It’s also what stops someone else ordering plates with your registration on them.
Cloned plates
A fine for somewhere you’ve never been?
Brighton & Hove issues a lot of parking and bus lane fines, and nearly every one of them is matched to a car by its registration. If a fine turns up for a road you weren’t on, a copy of your plates could be on another car.
- Challenge the fine with whoever issued it, and say you think your plates have been cloned.
- Report it to the police and keep the crime reference number.
- Let DVLA know and keep copies of everything you send.

Number plates Brighton: Sussex questions
Do you have a shop in Brighton?
No. We have one workshop, in Cranford near Heathrow (TW4 6BX). Everything for Brighton and Sussex is sent from there by Royal Mail.
Do you post to Hove, Shoreham and Lewes?
Yes. We post number plates Brighton-wide and to anywhere else in East and West Sussex. Delivery costs the same as anywhere in the UK.
Can I send my documents by WhatsApp from Brighton?
Yes. Photos by WhatsApp or email are the quickest way, or you can post the originals and we’ll return them with your plates.
Is it worth driving up to collect?
Only if you’re passing anyway. From Brighton the round trip is about three hours, so Tracked 24 for £6.99 will usually get your plates to you sooner.
Someone offered me plates with no documents. Are they legal?
The plates might look the same, but a registered supplier has to record who bought them and check the registration is theirs. If nobody asked, they weren’t sold the proper way.
Can I pay with Apple Pay or Google Pay?
Yes, at checkout or straight from the 3D builder, along with card payments.
