Do Halfords Fit Private Plates?

Yes. Halfords offers a number plate fitting service at many of their stores across the UK. They can fit private plates you've purchased from National Numbers or any other supplier, provided you bring the correct documentation.

To have Halfords fit your private plates, you'll need to bring proof of identity (such as a driving licence or passport), proof of address, and your V5C registration document or a V750 Certificate of Entitlement or V778 Retention Document showing you own the registration.

Halfords typically charges a fee for the fitting service, which varies by location. The service usually includes removing your old plates and securely fitting the new ones using adhesive pads or screws, depending on your preference and vehicle type.

However, fitting number plates yourself is straightforward and takes just a few minutes. Most people use adhesive pads, which require no drilling and won't damage your vehicle. This saves you the fitting fee and gives you complete control over positioning and finish.

If you do choose to fit your own plates, make sure they're installed securely and positioned correctly. Loose or incorrectly fitted plates can result in MOT failure or fines.
