Amazon bans number plates as illegal supply found
Briefly

Amazon will cease the sale of car number plates after a BBC investigation revealed that several sellers were providing them without verifying customers’ legal entitlement. UK law requires sellers to check documents like a driver’s license or V5 before issuing a number plate. The investigation found that seven companies failed to comply with these rules, contributing to a noticeable rise in vehicle cloning incidents where stolen number plates are used to evade fines. As a result, Amazon has removed all related products except for novelty plates.
Amazon’s decision to ban the sale of car number plates stems from a BBC investigation revealing illegal supply practices, leading to increased vehicle cloning incidents.
The investigation uncovered seven companies selling number plates on Amazon without verifying customers’ documents, violating legal requirements in the UK.
