What Information Does a Locksmith Need for a Replacement Car Key?

Registration, make, model, year, where the vehicle is, whether any working key remains, and proof that the vehicle is yours.

The quote checklist

Registration number identifies the key type. Make, model and year confirm it. Location determines travel. Whether a working key remains decides whether this is a spare or an all-keys-lost job.

Ownership documents

Photo identification and paperwork linking you to the vehicle are needed before keys are cut or programmed. Have the V5C or an insurance certificate to hand.
