Paul5 3 Posted February 6, 2019 Hi all Went to apply for trade plates last night, well fill in the form but seems have to pay by cheque. As yet I do not have a cheque book for my business account. Does anyone know if they'll accept a personal cheque? Thanks Paul Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stalker 180 Posted February 6, 2019 Payment can also me made by postal order. I don't think they will care where the cheque comes from BTW. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dave2302 387 Posted February 6, 2019 I did that with my initial purchase, but don't forget you pay extra on a PO, like the others said I don't suppose they'll have a problem with a cheque especially if it has your name on it as Proprietor or Director Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I use one personal cheque per year & that’s for my trade plates. I’ve not had a business cheque book in nearly a decade. Oh, and don’t waste your time with recorded delivery - what’s in it for the DVLA to not cash your cheque? It must just be me but I’ve no problem with the DVLA. The logbooks come through in a week & every November I send my trade plate form & chi then receive confirmation within a fortnight. 10/10 for service I reckon. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For what it costs, I use recorded delivery for everything. I probably only post one letter/document per week on average, everything is online nowadays.
