A Class: SANY 54* 

[On 19 June 2023, issuance reached SAMK 980, then went back to SABL 001! Originally, S-A** series were issued in small (not micro) format until S-ABK 217 on 30 September 2016; series ranging from SABL to SADZ had been skipped, so that the micro format could start as of SAEA 001. Issuance continued until SABL 079, then resumed at SAMK 981. What a mess again.]

[Plates issued up to SAJS 923 on 13 November 2020. Plates ranging from SAJS 924 to SAJS 990 had been issued on 19 October 2020; this skip had gone unnoticed! SAJS 991 and 992 were also issued on 13 November 2020.]

B Class: SBQS 65*

[On 19 June 2023, issuance reached SBPL 275, then went back to SBCD 052! Originally, S-B** series were issued in small (not micro) format until S-BCC 990 on 30 September 2016; series ranging from SBCD to SBEZ had been skipped, so that the micro format could start as of SBFA 001. Issuance continued until SBCD 145, then resumed at SBPL 276.]

Pedelecs: SPFS 15* / SPEJ 31* [On 25 October 2024, issuance stopped at SPFS 153 and presumably skipped to an undetermined series, then went back to SPAZ 663 on 29 October, continued until SPAZ 756 (while such combinations had been skipped in 2019), then started again at SPEJ 001 on 29 October (while such combinations had been skipped in July 2023).]

[On 31 July 2023, issuance jumped directly from SPEH 999 to SPEK 891, skipping all SPEJ plates and most SPEK combinations (total: 1,890) in the process…]

Micro cars: SUBA 91*

[Issuance seemed to be stuck since 14 November 2017, but actually it reached SUAL 743, then went back to SUAJ 001 on 15 November 2017: plates ranging from SUAJ 001 to 500 had been skipped on 21 December 2016 for an unknown reason! However, issuance reached SUAJ 280 on 28 December 2017, then went back to SUAL 744 and continued up to SUAL 753 on 2 January 2018, only to start again at SUAJ 281!!! This is unbelievable! :( SUAJ 500 was eventually issued on 13 February 2018, closing the gap.]

Motorcycles: UM-24 ADA [1st plate issued on 2 January 2024 at 08.54 a.m.] [Skipped: AAP and AAS, i.e. 2 combinations] [77 plates]

2023

Cars: UA-23-CFT [1st plate issued on 12 December 2022 at 11.51 a.m.] [Issuance reached UA-23-BHZ, then jumped to UA-23-BQA on 24 August 2023] [AAP, AAS, AEL, AII, AIO, ALA, ALI, ANE, ASSBEBBSPBUB, BWP, BYT, CAP, CDF, CDH and CDV were skipped, i.e. 18 combinations] [1,276 plates]; square (or small?) format: UA-23 BKI [1st plate issued on 13 January 2023 at 10.01 a.m.] [35 plates]

Scooters, Micro Cars: US23 UAH [1st plate issued on 2 March 2023 at 7.41 a.m.] [8 plates] [Skipped: none] [Very first issuance of such a type of plate!]
 
 

2022

Cars: UA-22-BQX [1st plate issued on 13 December 2021 at 9.20 a.m.] [Issuance reached UA-22-BEZ, then jumped to UA-22-BQA on 1 December 2022] [820 plates] [AAP, AAS, AEL, AII, AIO, ALA, ALI, ANE, ASS and BEB were skipped, i.e. 10 combinations.]; square (or small?) format: UA-22 BGE [31 plates, starting at BFA].

2021

[Plates ranging from UA-21-ATP to UA-21-AUE were issued sporadically between February 2021 and November 2021 without anyone noticing… It could be speculated that those registrations are actually square format plates, but the mystery remains. On 8 November, it is impossible to determine what was issued after UA-21-ATP, as it seems combinations after UA-21-AUE were also reserved. However, it was later discovered that issuance had jumped and resumed as of UA-21-BBH.]

Motorcycles: UM-21-AAB [1st plate issued on 23 April 2021 at 10.20 a.m.]

Trailers: UQ-21-AAF [1st plate issued on 10 March 2021 at 9.10 a.m.]

Scooters: none.

V: Professional plates (for bodywork and repair shops)

Cars: V-AAF-46* [1st plate issued on 4 January 2021 at 11.30 a.m.]; square format: none.

[Once again, something unusual happened: V-AAB-001 was issued on 27 October 2021; after V-AAA-999 had been issued on 4 November, the next plate issued was V-AAB-201! V-AAB-002 was issued on 16 November, V-AAB-003 on 19 November, V-AAB-004 on 26 November, V-AAB-005 on 6 December, V-AAB-006 on 9 December, V-AAB-007 on 15 December, V-AAB-008 on 10 January, V-AAB-009 on 11 January 2022. It is likely that this range is used for square format plates.]

Motorcycles: V-MAA-165 [1st plate issued on 7 January 2021 at 3.00 p.m.]

Trailers: V-QAA-421 [1st plate issued on 6 January 2021 at 9.50 a.m.] [Issuance skipped from V-QAA-200 to V-QAA-401 on 27 March; presumably because combinations from V-QAA-201 to V-QAA-400 are reserved for square format plates.]

Scooters: VSAA 036 [1st plate issued on 15 March 2021 at 2.12 p.m.]

[Issuance went nuts again: Z-AAC-001 was issued on 25 January between Z-AAB-787 and Z-AAB-788, then on 28 January, issuance reached Z-AAB-999, before skipping to Z-AAC-301! Z-AAC-002 was issued on 19 February between Z-AAC-931 and Z-AAC-932. Z-AAC-003 was issued on 9 March between Z-AAD-*** and Z-AAD-***. Z-AAC-004 was issued on 26 April between Z-AAD-*** and Z-AAD-***.

Plates between Z-AAC-017 and Z-AAC-300 are still available.]

[Issuance was stuck between 13 January at 10:10 and 14 January at 10.30 a.m.… Maybe only 1,000 plates were made in the initial run; the DIV was probably waiting for more stock…]

Estimates for the next days (ordinary cars):

Thursday 7 November: 2-GDR, 2-GDS, 2-GDT, 2-GDU*

Friday 8 November: 2-GDU, 2-GDV, 2-GDW, 2-GDX*

Saturday 9 November: 2-GDX*

Sunday 10 November: 2-GDX*

Monday 11 November: 2-GDX* [Armistice Day bank holiday]

Tuesday 12 November: 2-GDX, 2-GDY, 2-GDZ, 2-GEA*

[2-GEK plates will not be issued: 'gek' means 'crazy' in Dutch]

 

Other series that will start in November 2024:

2-GF*, 1-GYS, G-LDA, M-BMX, M-BMY, M-BMZ, M-BNA, O-AHU, Q-ASZ, Q-ATA, Q-ATB, Q-AYQ, SANZ, SAPA, SBQT, SBQU, SPFT, SPFU, SUBB, maybe Z-ABD.


Projections for series to be issued over the course of 2024:

  • 2-GG*, 2-GH*, 2-GJ*
  • maybe 1-GYT
  • 1-BZT
  • M-BNB, M-BNC, M-BND
  • O-AHV
  • maybe O-MCF
  • Q-ATC, Q-ATD, Q-ATE
  • SAPB, SAPC
  • SBQV, SBQW
  • SPFV, SPFW
  • maybe Z-ABE

 
* Unless the DIV (very) unexpectedly goes back to skipped 1-JB*, 1-JC*, 1-JD*, 1-LJ*, 1-TL*, 1-US*, 1-UT* or 1-UU* (see the reasons below) — or even skipped 1-H** to 1-S** series with the letters M, Q and W!
[The letters I and O are no longer used, except for vanity plates. The letters M, Q and W were restricted for several years, but are now being used again.] 
[Next three skipped ordinary series: 2-GEK (in November 2024), maybe 2-HJN (in 2025), 2-JEK (in early 2026).]

IRREGULARITIES


Some problems occurred in the ordinary series:
– plates ranging from 1-JBA-201 up to 1-JBZ-999 were skipped. Then, plates ranging from 1-JCA-001 up to 1-JCB-201 were issued, before plates ranging from 1-JCB-202 to 1-JDZ-999 were skipped as well for an unknown reason. The issuance of registration numbers resumed at 1-JEA-001.
– plates ranging from 1-LJA-001 to 1-LJH-999 were also skipped for no reason. 
– plates ranging from 1-TLM-904 up to 1-TMA-011 were skipped on 7 December 2017 for no reason. 
– plates ranging from 1-TRS-004 up to 1-TRW-007 were skipped on 24 January 2017 for no reason.
[Issuance reached 1-TSX-347, then went back to combinations skipped on 24 January 2018, starting from 1-TRS-004 up to 1-TRW-007, then back from 1-TSX-348] 
– plates ranging from 1-USG-018 to 1-UUH-999 were skipped on 27 July 2018 for no reason.

– plates ranging from 1-YML-403 to 1-YND-413 were skipped on 8 October 2020 for no reason.
It appears that these plates were simply not made because they have never been ordered to the plate maker in the first place. One can assume that a mistake occurred at the level of orders, i.e. at bpost level. After reaching 1-YPG-901 on 19 October, issuance resumed as of 1-YML-403. Issuance continued and the gap was closed with 1-YNC-413 on 26 October; issuance resumed as of 1-YPG-902.

– Issuance jumped from 2-CTX-008 to 2-CUC-013 on 25 November 2022! Such a skip had not occurred in regular series since October 2020… As a result, combinations from 2-CTX-009 to 2-CUC-012 (not including 2-CUB plates, which are forbidden) were skipped. Issuance continued until 2-CUM-937, then went back to the skipped combinations, starting with 2-CTX-009 on 30 November, up to 2-CUA-999, skipping 2-CUB plates, then the remaining 2-CUC plates (2-CUC-001 to 2-CUC-012), then resuming after the highest number reached previously, i.e. as of 2-CUM-938.

On 3 February 2023 issuance stopped at 2-DCQ-001 and then continued as of 2-DCU-006; 5,000 plates were skipped (2-DCQ-002 to 2-DCU-005). On 6 February, issuance stopped at 2-DCW-223 and resumed as of 2-DCQ-002; it continued until 2-DCU-005 and then from 2-DCW-224 onwards on 7 February.

On 31 May 2023 issuance reached 2-DRC-013, then skipped to 2-DRG-018 (4,000 plates). It continued until 2-DRL-685 on 1 June, then resumed as of 2-DRC-014; it continued until 2-DRG-017 on 2 June, then resumed as of 2-DRL-686.

– On 12 June 2024 issuance stopped at 2-FLW-008 and continued as of 2-FMB-013, continued until 2-FMB-112 (100 plates), then jumped to 2-FMN-005 and continued until 2-FMP-52*. Issuance continued on 13 June until 2-FMP-5**, then was blocked temporarily and then continued until 2-FMU-053 on 14 June and resumed at 2-FLW-009. It continued until 2-FMB-012 on 17 June, then it skipped to 2-FMB-113 and will presumably continue until 2-FMN-004. On 19 June issuance slowed down considerably while being in the 2-FMM-1** series, with just dozens of plates issued in the afternoon. It continued until 2-FMN-004 on 20 June, then skipped to 2-FMU-054; the different June gaps were closed from that moment. On 21 June issuance stopped at 2-FMZ-742 at 11.04 a.m., then resumed at 2-FMZ-743 at 3.00 p.m. Other plates might have been issued in the meantime.

– On 26 August 2024 issuance stopped at 2-FUF-159 and may have skipped to another, undetermined series. Issuance resumed as of 2-FUF-160 on 27 August.

– On 18 September 2024, issuance stopped at 2-FWR-002 and skipped to 2-FWV-007. Issuance continued until 2-FWW-217 on 19 September, then resumed as of 2-FWR-003. Issuance continued until 2-FWV-006 on 20 September, then as of 2-FWW-218.

 

In the square ordinary series:

– On 8 March 2024 issuance reached 1-GYM 003, then jumped to 1-GYN 005; it continued until 1-GYN 065 on 12 March, when it went back to 1-GYM 004. It continued until it reached 1-GYN 004 on 26 April, then resumed at 1-GYM 066. [issuance stopped at 1-GYL 702 on 27 February 2024 and could have jumped to another, undetermined series; it resumed at 1-GYL 760 on 28 February] [issuance jumped to an undetermined series on 27 September 2023; it continued until 3 October 2023 and resumed at 1-GYJ 001. Plates issued in the meantime are unknown. UPDATE: issuance had skipped to 1-GYL 703 and continued until 1-GYL 759 on 2 October 2023.]

In the small ordinary series:

– Plates ranging from 1-BZD 702 to 1-BZD 801 were skipped on 12 October 2020 for an unknown reason. Issuance went from 1-BZD 802 to 1-BZD 874 on 19 October, then resumed from 1-BZD 702 onwards on 20 October 2020, until reaching 1-BZD 801 on 30 October; issuance continued as of 1-BZD 875. 

 

Index CD, B-Class scooters

– CD-SB 001 to CD-SB 100 were not issued (probably because plates were made in the small format but remained unissued); CDSB 101 issued on 13 April 2017; CDSB 102 issued on 14 June 2017; CDSB 103 issued on 26 February 2019; CDSB 104 issued on 18 October 2019; CDSB 105 issued on 8 July 2021

 

Index O, small series:

– Issuance skipped directly from O-AZS 255 to O-AZT 101 on 8 April 2022; the gap was never filled.

 

Index O, motorcycle series:

Issuance skipped directly from O-MBQ 533 to O-MBR 001 on 8 April 2022; the gap was never filled.

Issuance skipped went from O-MBS 601 to O-MBS 702 on 5 July 2022, then continued until O-MBS 733 on 6 July 2022, before resuming at O-MBS 602. The gap was closed on 12 July 2022 with O-MBS 701, then issuance continued as of O-MBS 734.

 

Index O, A Class scooters series:

Issuance skipped directly from OSAE 774 to OSAF 571 on 8 April 2022; the gap was never filled.

– Issuance skipped from OSAF 920 to OSAG 272 on 4 July 2022, then continued until OSAG 289 on 6 July, before it resumed at OSAF 921 on 7 July. The gap was closed (and noticed) on 25 October 2022, when issuance reached OSAG 271 and continued as of OSAG 290.

 

Index O, B Class scooters series:

 – Issuance skipped from OSBR 147 to OSBS 001 on 8 April 2022, implying that combinations ranging from OSBR 148 to 999 (i.e. 852 plates) are still available. 

 

Index O, microcar series: 

– (the following is rather an observation) 7th plate issued on 11 September 2023, i.e. 2 years after the last one.] [at last a new plate issued on 4 August 2021 after one on 10 May 2021: the previous one had been issued on 22 November 2020, and the one before on 1 December 2017

 

Index Q, regular series:

Issuance skipped from Q-ALK-034 to Q-ALM-037 between 12 and 13 October for an unknown reason…; 2,000 combinations were skipped. Issuance reached Q-ALM-839, then went back to Q-ALK-035 on 19 October. The gap was closed on 6 November 2020 with Q-ALM-036, then resumed as of Q-ALM-840.

Q-ALO plates were issued by mistake, like Q-AKO; O is normally not used except as index letter and on vanity plates. Q-AKI was issued, not Q-ALI as ALI is forbidden, but then Q-AMI was skipped… Maybe this would indicate that the mistake had been corrected and Q-AMO would therefore not be issued. This would later be confirmed.

(Total chaos for tractor plates: between 9 and 14 October 2014 combinations skipped in August were issued, ranging from G-LYY-375 to G-LYY-531. Then the issuing process went back to G-LXC-003 until G-LXE-004 [1999 plates]. On 16 December 2014, the DIV started issuing skipped combinations again, as of G-LYY-532 until G-LYZ-024. On 23 December 2014, issuance resumed as of G-LXE-005. Once G-LXE-999 had been reached on 23 January 2015, issuance went back to G-LYZ-025. On 27 January 2015, a leap from G-LYZ-091 to G-LXF-001 occurred. After reaching G-LXG-001 on 26 Januray 2015, issuance went back to G-LYZ-092 and continued until G-LYZ-562 on 19 May 2015, then plates following G-LXG-002 started being issued until 6 November 2015 with G-LXH-002. Then, as of 9 November 2015, issuance resumed at G-LYZ-563. It continued up to G-LYZ-701 on 16 December 2015, then issuance went back to G-LYC-103 and following, because some 300 plates had been skipped in October 2013!!!!!!!  "It's a complete and utter shambles!" [Lord Sugar] G-LYC-402 was issued on 16 February 2016 and was followed by G-LYZ-702. Issuance continued up to G-LYZ-998; then, G-LXH-003 followed. This means that G-LYZ-999 is the only plate in the G-LY* range that has never been issued.)

[Oldimers: Small format plates: issuance seemed to be stuck again, just like between 7 and 12 July 2017, but then I found out that O-BZA plates now being issued, just like in July! So it skippped straight from O-AZH 500 to O-BZA 001 on 7 July 2017 and reached O-BZA 072 on 12 July 2017, before going back to O-AZH 501 and following, until O-AZH 999 on 5 September 2017. Then issuance jumped forward to O-BZA 073 and continued up to O-BZA 100 on 7 September. Issuance was stuck until 12 September and resumed as of O-AZJ 001.]

[Issuance of motorcycle plates was stuck between 15 June (11.01 a.m.) and 16 June (2.14 p.m.). Could it be linked to the unusually high amount of registrations which could have depleted the stock of plates?]  
 
[There was speculation as to 2-*Y* series would be skipped or not for square plates, given that many combinations are still available in the 1-*Y* range (i.e. 1-GY*, 1-JY*, 1-KY*, 1-LY*, 1-NY*, 1-RY*, 1-SY*, 1-TY*, 1-UY*, 1-VY*, 1-WY*, 1-XY*, 1-YY*, i.e. 311,688 combinations, which is nearly three times the amount of square combinations registered since November 2010 (± over 105,000 plates). This implies that the leftover 1-*Y* combinations could still be issued over the next 33 years (if issuance rhythm had been similar), and by then, plates with index digits 2 and 3 would already have been exhausted. Now, one could speculate that 2-AY* square plates will be issued once the 1-FY* series are exhausted, so that index digit 1 can be phased out; the same could then also happen with 1-BZ* small plates.]
