The validation character on a V750 is a single character within the certificate reference number. DVLA uses it to confirm the document's authenticity during online number plate assignments.
-
It is found within the reference number printed in the top section of the V750 document. The annotated image on this page shows its exact location.
-
A V750 certificate of entitlement is issued by DVLA when you purchase a number plate that is not immediately assigned to a vehicle. It records your entitlement to that registration mark for up to 12 months, extendable for a further fee.
-
The validation character is required for DVLA's online assignment service. Without it, you must apply by post. If your V750 is lost or damaged, contact DVLA to request a replacement document.
-
A V750 is initially valid for 12 months from the date of issue. You can apply to DVLA to extend its validity for further 12-month periods, up to a maximum of 10 years from original issue.
