What's a DOT plate?

As the title says what’s one of these? Seen this on a vehicle check sheet.

Cheers.

Department Of Transport plate which states the max weights. Should find it on the passenger door or footwell.

Bloody hell, how many years is it since VOSA were called the Department of Transport?

Anyway, it’s one of these.

Normally somewhere on the passenger side, on the door, the side of the seat or maybe even in the side locker.
