If you wonder where your euro bank notes come from or where they're going, you might want to start contributing to Eurobilltracker.com. This site enables you to encode the serial numbers of your euro bank notes. If another user has already encoded the bill, you will have what we call a 'hit'. Otherwise, your bill's number will be stored; maybe someone else will find it in the future and encode it, giving you a hit. Even if you encode just a couple of bills, it's helping us a lot. Many thanks in advance for your contribution! 32 people (only…) have helped me while several hundreds visit this site every day; why wouldn't you too to show your appreciation too? ;)

Series issued while they were forbidden/unused in the previous system: AVN, BCP, BID, BIL, BIQ, CHI, EVN, FAT, FBA, FLN, FVN, GAD, GAG, GAI, GAS, GAZ, GIF, GVN, PUA, RAL, RAT, ZAT.
No E plates were skipped; this was the first time ever that a whole *AA-001 to *ZZ-999 range, including combinations with the letter O), was issued in Belgium. 675,324 E plates were issued, making it the largest ordinary series ever.
Series which have been skipped due to a programming mistake (probably): AYF (only 5 plates issued), AYG, AYH, AYI, AYJ, AYK, AYL, AYM, AYN, AYO, AYP, OAG, OAH, OAI, OAJ, OAK, OAL. [Total: 17 series, = (17 x 999) – 5 = 16,978 combinations lost.] Some of the skipped AY* and OA* series have been issued, although other bugs have occurred since, causing those series to be skipped again, then reintroduced… The gap in the O plates was closed on 11 September 2012 and, incidentally, the gap in the AY* plates was closed on 12 September 2012.
On 28 May 2013, plates ranging from 1-FDG-001 to 1-FDG-100 were skipped for an unknown reason. They still have not been issued. (Thanks Dagonh for the tip.)
On 17 October 2013, plates ranging from G-LYC-103 to G-LYC-402 were skipped for an unknown reason. The DIV started issuing the skipped plates as of 17 December 2015 [still ongoing].
On 5 November 2013, plates ranging from 1-AZG-102 to 1-AZG-201 were skipped for an unknown reason. The DIV started issuing the skipped plates as of 17 December 2015 [still ongoing].
On 20 December 2013, plates ranging from 1-ZZK-901 to 1-ZZL-001 were skipped for an unknown reason. The DIV issued all those skipped plates between 16 and 24 December 2015.
On 10 February 2014, the whole GHO series was skipped, which hinted at a possible decision not to use the O anymore on Belgian license plates. This guess was confirmed on 18 February 2014, when the GIO series was skipped as well. Oldtimer plates will be the only plates which will still feature the letter O as the first letter. The 1-BYO, 1-MLO, 1-QEO, 1-ZZO and G-LBO series were later issued nevertheless because they had been made before the instruction not to use the O anymore was given.
On 7 March 2014, plates ranging from 1-GLA-001 to 1-GLZ-999 were skipped to avoid any confusion with G-L** tractor plates.
On 30 May 2014, plates ranging from 1-GXT-005 to 1-GXX-008 were skipped for an unknown reason.
On 3 June 2014, the whole HAI series was skipped. This marked the end of the use of the letters I, M, Q and W because of so-called 'readability issues', according to the Belgian Police forces.
Last series to use the letter I: 1-GXI, 1-MMI, 1-OBI, 1-QEI, 1-ZAI, 1-ZZI, 8-AAI, G-LBI, G-LYI, S-AAI (by mistake), S-BAI (by mistake)
Last series to use the letter M: 1-GXM, 1-MMN, 1-OBM, 1-QEM, 1-ZAM, 8-AAM, G-LBM, G-LYM
Last series to use the letter Q: 1-GXQ, 1-CYQ (by mistake), 1-MLQ, 1-OBQ, 1-QEQ, 1-ZAQ, 8-AAQ, G-LAQ, G-LYQ, Q-AAQ (by mistake)
Last series to use the letter W: 1-GWZ [GXW was skipped a little later], 1-MLW, 1-OBW, 1-QDW, 1-ZAW, G-LBW, G-LYW
On 1 July 2014, plates ranging from 1-HEN-001 to 1-HEN-500 were skipped for an unknown reason. (Thanks Dagonh for the tip.)
On 3 July 2014, plates ranging from 1-HEV-605 to 1-HEX-400 were skipped for an unknown reason.
On 4 July 2014, plates ranging from 1-OBQ-500 to 1-OBQ-999 were skipped because the letter Q is not used anymore [however, the OBW series is being issued despite it features a 'forbidden' letter].
On 31 July 2014, plates ranging from 1-MMP-001 to 1-MMZ-999 were skipped for an unknown reason. I suggest it is because the letter M is no more used in other series — which is paradoxical because M is still the first letter for motorcycles!
On 1 August 2014, plates ranging from 1-HJN-001 to 1-HJN-999 were skipped for an unknown reason.
On 12 August 2014, plates ranging from G-LYY-375 to G-LYZ-999 were skipped, probably in order to anticipate the incoming end of the G-LY* series; the issuing process of square tractor plates resumed as of G-LXA-001.
On 22 September 2014, plates ranging from 1-MNM-001 to 1-MNN-999 were skipped for an unknown reason. I suggest that the goal was to skip the MNM series because it contains a 'forbidden' M — which is paradoxical, I know — and MNN was skipped in the process, as it precedes the also skipped MNO series.
On 7 October 2014, series starting with 1-M, 1-O, 1-Q and 1-TX were discontinued and replaced with combinations with an index letter: M (motorcycles), O (oldtimers), Q (trailers), T-X** (taxis), T-L** (rental cars with driver). Highs:
– Motorcycles: 1-MNS-916
– Trailers: 1-QFJ-391, 1-QYD-313, 1-QZA-051
– Oldtimer cars: 1-OBX-098, 1-OYK-609, 1-OZH-338
– Oldtimer trailers: 1-OQA-058
– Taxis: 1-TXF-234, 1-TXY-008, 1-TXZ-013
– Rental cars with driver: 2-TXL-881, 1-TXH-036, 1-TXV-067
On 7 October 2014, plates starting with index digit 8 were discontinued because of complaints related to the easy recognition of personel working for international organizations such as the SHAPE and the EU. These people are now given ordinary combinations, with a limited validity though. Highs:
– Cars: 8-AAV-526, 8-AYA-724, 8-AZA-461
– Motorcycles: 8-MAB-375
– Trailers: 8-QAA-099, 8-QYA-004
On 9 October 2014, square tractor plates had reached G-LXC-002. Combinations skipped on 12 August 2014, starting with G-LYY-375, were issued afterwards.
On 13 October 2014, the very first Belgian oldtimer plates for motorcycles (O-MXX-***) were issued.
On 20 November 2014, plates ranging from 1-JBA-201 to 1-JBZ-999 were skipped for an unknown reason. Then plates ranging from 1-JCA-001 to 1-JCB-201 were issued between 20 and 21 November 2014, when another problem occurred: plates ranging from 1-JCB-202 to 1-JDZ-999 were also skipped for an unknown reason. The issuing process then resumed as of 1-JEA-001. 1-JB* plates are therefore the rarest ordinary plates.
On 20 January 2015, plates ranging from 1-JLS-002 to 1-JLV-999 were skipped for an unknown reason, for a total of 3,995 plates. The issuing process resumed as of 1-JLX-001 and continued up to 1-JNA-985 on 21 January 2015, then the skipped 1-JL* plates were issued up to 1-JLV-999 on 22 January 2015. After that, 1-JNA-986 and following were issued.
On 11 February 2015, plates ranging from 1-JSA-001 to 1-JSA-400 were skipped for an unknown reason, amounting to 400 unissued plates. The issuing process resumed as of 1-JSA-401.
On 16 February 2015, the first oldtimer plate for a B Class scooter was issued (O-SBA-001).
The Q-AAQ series should not have been issued (just like AAP, which was skipped because it means 'ape' in Dutch), since Q is one of the 'forbidden letters' (except in vanity plates and as index); Q-AAR-001 should have come right after Q-AAN-999… The Q-AAQ series was issued from 20 February to 3 March 2015.
The S-BAI series should not have been issued, since I is one of the forbidden letters; however, it was issued between 12 May 2015 and 23 June 2015.
On 19 May 2015, tractor plates had reached G-LYZ-562, but issuance went back to G-LXG-002 and following. Will the G-LY* series ever be completely issued?
On 23 September 2015, motorcycle plates reached M-AEH-007, then the issuing process jumped forward to M-AEK-002 for an unknown reason. 1,992 combinations (992 + 999 + 1) were skipped in the process. Issuance continued up to M-AEK-398, then went back to M-AEH-008 and following on 24 September. After M-AEJ-999 was issued on 7 October 2015, the next plate was M-AEK-399. Issuance continued up to M-AEK-999, then the M-AEL series was skipped on 9 October 2015 (AEL being a forbidden combination as it refers to the Arab European League), issuance following as of M-AEN-001.
On 5 October 2015, plates ranging from 1-LJA-001 to 1-LJH-999 were skipped for no reason.
On 9 November 2015, after M-AET-001, issuance skipped to M-AEX-001 and continued up to M-AEX-348 on 10 November 2015; then issuance resumed as of M-AET-002 and following, until M-AEV-999 was issued on 8 December 2015, after which M-AEX-349 and following were issued.
The S-AAI series should not have been issued, since I is one of the forbidden letters; however, it was issued between 15 October 2015 and 17 December 2015.
On 23 October 2015, the first oldtimer plate for an A Class scooter was issued (O-SAA-001).
On 6 November 2015, issuance of square tractor plates reached G-LXH-002. The following Monday, 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 (see below).
On 16 December 2015, issuance of car test plates stopped at 1-ZZP-789, went back to 1-ZZK-901 and continued up to 1-ZZL-001 because those plates had been skipped on 20 December 2013 — that's two years to correct a mistake…
On 16 December 2015, issuance of small car plates stopped at 1-AZN-511 and went back to 1-AZG-102 as of 17 December 2015. Plates ranging from 1-AZG-102 to 201 had been skipped on 5 November 2013… 1-AZG-201 was issued on 7 January 2016, then issuance resumed as of 1-AZN-512.
On 16 December 2015, issuance of square tractor plates stopped at G-LYZ-701 and went back to G-LYC-103 as of 17 December 2015. Plates ranging from G-LYC-103 to G-LYZ-402 had been skipped on 17 October 2013… G-LYZ-402 was eventually issued on 16 February 2016, then issuance resumed as of G-LYZ-702.
Between 17 and 21 December 2015, no S-UA* plates were issued for an unknown reason.

On 13 September 2016, plates ranging from S-ABH-108 to S-ABH-207 (i.e. 100 plates) were skipped for an unknown reason: issuance went from S-ABH-107 to S-ABH-208. On 22 September 2016, issuance stopped at S-ABJ-345, then the skipped combinations were issued until 23 September. After S-ABH-207 was eventually registered, issuance resumed as of S-ABJ-346 and continued up to S-ABK-217 on 30 September 2016.
On 23 September 2016, issuance stopped at S-BCB-999 for an unknown reason; the following numbers were not issued until 29 September… It is possible that either unknown skipped numbers were issued (although unlikely), or the DIV skipped forward to an undetermined series. Another, more likely hypothesis would be that issuance was simply blocked due to some programming bug and that no S-B** plates were issued between 23 and 29 September 2016. Indeed, some 650+ S-B** plates were issued on 29 September, which indicates that the DIV was catching up with delayed registrations. Issuance continued up to S-BCC 990, which was the last B Class scooter plate using the small format.

The first 2017 export plate for a car, XA-17-AAA, was issued on 13 Octber 2016.

Combinations starting with the letter I (IAA–IZZ) were skipped, too.

The first micro format oldtimer plate for a micro car, OSUA 101, was issued on 7 February 2017. Long rectangular format plates, ranging from O-SUA-001 to O-SUA-100, had probably been made, but will never be issued because the micro format is the only one left for scooters.

On 22 June 2017, plates ranging from M-ALZ 003 up to M-ALZ-999 were skipped (i.e. 997 plates). Issuance had skipped directly from M-ALZ 002 to M-ANA 001, then reached M-ANB 731 before going back to the skipped combinations, which were registered between 27 and 29 June 2017. Issuance then resumed as of M-ANB 732.

On 27 July 2018, issuance of oldtimer motorcycle plates skipped directly from O-MAP 999 to O-MAX 001 for no reason, skipping the O-MAR, O-MAT, O-MAU and O-MAV series in the process. O-MAS plates would not have been issued because MAS is a forbidden combination, and O-MAW were not made because W was a forbidden combination at the time of production.
On 27 July 2018, issuance of ordinary plates stopped at 1-USG-017 and went straight to 1-UUJ-001 for an unknown reason. These combinations remain unissued so far.
On 27 July 2018, issuance of oldtimer motorcycle plates jumped from O-MAP 999 to O-MAX 001, skipping O-MAQ to O-MAW series in the process. O-MAS series would not have been issued anyway, because MAS is a forbidden series.

The DY* series are currently being issued as square format plates and AZ* series as small format plates. Series ranging from EYA to EZZ, HYA to HZZ, PYA to PZZ and SYA to SZZ have been issued as regular rectangular plates due to a programmer's mistake (respectively in April-May 2013, October-November 2014, October 2016 and August 2017).

No E plates were skipped; this was the first time ever that a whole *AA-001 to *ZZ-999 range, including combinations with the letter O), was issued in Belgium. 675,324 E plates were issued, making it the largest ordinary series ever.
Series which have been skipped due to a programming mistake (probably): AYF (only 5 plates issued), AYG, AYH, AYI, AYJ, AYK, AYL, AYM, AYN, AYO, AYP, OAG, OAH, OAI, OAJ, OAK, OAL. [Total: 17 series, = (17 x 999) – 5 = 16,978 combinations lost.] Some of the skipped AY* and OA* series have been issued, although other bugs have occurred since, causing those series to be skipped again, then reintroduced… The gap in the O plates was closed on 11 September 2012 and, incidentally, the gap in the AY* plates was closed on 12 September 2012.
On 28 May 2013, plates ranging from 1-FDG-001 to 1-FDG-100 were skipped for an unknown reason. They still have not been issued. (Thanks Dagonh for the tip.)

On 20 December 2013, plates ranging from 1-ZZK-901 to 1-ZZL-001 were skipped for an unknown reason. The DIV issued all those skipped plates between 16 and 24 December 2015.
On 10 February 2014, the whole GHO series was skipped, which hinted at a possible decision not to use the O anymore on Belgian license plates. This guess was confirmed on 18 February 2014, when the GIO series was skipped as well. Oldtimer plates will be the only plates which will still feature the letter O as the first letter. The 1-BYO, 1-MLO, 1-QEO, 1-ZZO and G-LBO series were later issued nevertheless because they had been made before the instruction not to use the O anymore was given.
On 7 March 2014, plates ranging from 1-GLA-001 to 1-GLZ-999 were skipped to avoid any confusion with G-L** tractor plates.
On 30 May 2014, plates ranging from 1-GXT-005 to 1-GXX-008 were skipped for an unknown reason.
On 3 June 2014, the whole HAI series was skipped. This marked the end of the use of the letters I, M, Q and W because of so-called 'readability issues', according to the Belgian Police forces.
Last series to use the letter I: 1-GXI, 1-MMI, 1-OBI, 1-QEI, 1-ZAI, 1-ZZI, 8-AAI, G-LBI, G-LYI, S-AAI (by mistake), S-BAI (by mistake)
Last series to use the letter M: 1-GXM, 1-MMN, 1-OBM, 1-QEM, 1-ZAM, 8-AAM, G-LBM, G-LYM
Last series to use the letter Q: 1-GXQ, 1-CYQ (by mistake), 1-MLQ, 1-OBQ, 1-QEQ, 1-ZAQ, 8-AAQ, G-LAQ, G-LYQ, Q-AAQ (by mistake)
Last series to use the letter W: 1-GWZ [GXW was skipped a little later], 1-MLW, 1-OBW, 1-QDW, 1-ZAW, G-LBW, G-LYW
On 1 July 2014, plates ranging from 1-HEN-001 to 1-HEN-500 were skipped for an unknown reason. (Thanks Dagonh for the tip.)
On 3 July 2014, plates ranging from 1-HEV-605 to 1-HEX-400 were skipped for an unknown reason.
On 4 July 2014, plates ranging from 1-OBQ-500 to 1-OBQ-999 were skipped because the letter Q is not used anymore [however, the OBW series is being issued despite it features a 'forbidden' letter].
On 31 July 2014, plates ranging from 1-MMP-001 to 1-MMZ-999 were skipped for an unknown reason. I suggest it is because the letter M is no more used in other series — which is paradoxical because M is still the first letter for motorcycles!
On 1 August 2014, plates ranging from 1-HJN-001 to 1-HJN-999 were skipped for an unknown reason.
On 12 August 2014, plates ranging from G-LYY-375 to G-LYZ-999 were skipped, probably in order to anticipate the incoming end of the G-LY* series; the issuing process of square tractor plates resumed as of G-LXA-001.
On 22 September 2014, plates ranging from 1-MNM-001 to 1-MNN-999 were skipped for an unknown reason. I suggest that the goal was to skip the MNM series because it contains a 'forbidden' M — which is paradoxical, I know — and MNN was skipped in the process, as it precedes the also skipped MNO series.
On 7 October 2014, series starting with 1-M, 1-O, 1-Q and 1-TX were discontinued and replaced with combinations with an index letter: M (motorcycles), O (oldtimers), Q (trailers), T-X** (taxis), T-L** (rental cars with driver). Highs:
– Motorcycles: 1-MNS-916
– Trailers: 1-QFJ-391, 1-QYD-313, 1-QZA-051
– Oldtimer cars: 1-OBX-098, 1-OYK-609, 1-OZH-338
– Oldtimer trailers: 1-OQA-058
– Taxis: 1-TXF-234, 1-TXY-008, 1-TXZ-013
– Rental cars with driver: 2-TXL-881, 1-TXH-036, 1-TXV-067
On 7 October 2014, plates starting with index digit 8 were discontinued because of complaints related to the easy recognition of personel working for international organizations such as the SHAPE and the EU. These people are now given ordinary combinations, with a limited validity though. Highs:
– Cars: 8-AAV-526, 8-AYA-724, 8-AZA-461
– Motorcycles: 8-MAB-375
– Trailers: 8-QAA-099, 8-QYA-004

On 13 October 2014, the very first Belgian oldtimer plates for motorcycles (O-MXX-***) were issued.
On 20 November 2014, plates ranging from 1-JBA-201 to 1-JBZ-999 were skipped for an unknown reason. Then plates ranging from 1-JCA-001 to 1-JCB-201 were issued between 20 and 21 November 2014, when another problem occurred: plates ranging from 1-JCB-202 to 1-JDZ-999 were also skipped for an unknown reason. The issuing process then resumed as of 1-JEA-001. 1-JB* plates are therefore the rarest ordinary plates.
On 20 January 2015, plates ranging from 1-JLS-002 to 1-JLV-999 were skipped for an unknown reason, for a total of 3,995 plates. The issuing process resumed as of 1-JLX-001 and continued up to 1-JNA-985 on 21 January 2015, then the skipped 1-JL* plates were issued up to 1-JLV-999 on 22 January 2015. After that, 1-JNA-986 and following were issued.
On 11 February 2015, plates ranging from 1-JSA-001 to 1-JSA-400 were skipped for an unknown reason, amounting to 400 unissued plates. The issuing process resumed as of 1-JSA-401.
On 16 February 2015, the first oldtimer plate for a B Class scooter was issued (O-SBA-001).
The Q-AAQ series should not have been issued (just like AAP, which was skipped because it means 'ape' in Dutch), since Q is one of the 'forbidden letters' (except in vanity plates and as index); Q-AAR-001 should have come right after Q-AAN-999… The Q-AAQ series was issued from 20 February to 3 March 2015.
The S-BAI series should not have been issued, since I is one of the forbidden letters; however, it was issued between 12 May 2015 and 23 June 2015.
On 19 May 2015, tractor plates had reached G-LYZ-562, but issuance went back to G-LXG-002 and following. Will the G-LY* series ever be completely issued?
On 23 September 2015, motorcycle plates reached M-AEH-007, then the issuing process jumped forward to M-AEK-002 for an unknown reason. 1,992 combinations (992 + 999 + 1) were skipped in the process. Issuance continued up to M-AEK-398, then went back to M-AEH-008 and following on 24 September. After M-AEJ-999 was issued on 7 October 2015, the next plate was M-AEK-399. Issuance continued up to M-AEK-999, then the M-AEL series was skipped on 9 October 2015 (AEL being a forbidden combination as it refers to the Arab European League), issuance following as of M-AEN-001.
On 5 October 2015, plates ranging from 1-LJA-001 to 1-LJH-999 were skipped for no reason.
On 9 November 2015, after M-AET-001, issuance skipped to M-AEX-001 and continued up to M-AEX-348 on 10 November 2015; then issuance resumed as of M-AET-002 and following, until M-AEV-999 was issued on 8 December 2015, after which M-AEX-349 and following were issued.
The S-AAI series should not have been issued, since I is one of the forbidden letters; however, it was issued between 15 October 2015 and 17 December 2015.
On 23 October 2015, the first oldtimer plate for an A Class scooter was issued (O-SAA-001).
On 6 November 2015, issuance of square tractor plates reached G-LXH-002. The following Monday, 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 (see below).
On 16 December 2015, issuance of car test plates stopped at 1-ZZP-789, went back to 1-ZZK-901 and continued up to 1-ZZL-001 because those plates had been skipped on 20 December 2013 — that's two years to correct a mistake…
On 16 December 2015, issuance of small car plates stopped at 1-AZN-511 and went back to 1-AZG-102 as of 17 December 2015. Plates ranging from 1-AZG-102 to 201 had been skipped on 5 November 2013… 1-AZG-201 was issued on 7 January 2016, then issuance resumed as of 1-AZN-512.
On 16 December 2015, issuance of square tractor plates stopped at G-LYZ-701 and went back to G-LYC-103 as of 17 December 2015. Plates ranging from G-LYC-103 to G-LYZ-402 had been skipped on 17 October 2013… G-LYZ-402 was eventually issued on 16 February 2016, then issuance resumed as of G-LYZ-702.
Between 17 and 21 December 2015, no S-UA* plates were issued for an unknown reason.

On 13 September 2016, plates ranging from S-ABH-108 to S-ABH-207 (i.e. 100 plates) were skipped for an unknown reason: issuance went from S-ABH-107 to S-ABH-208. On 22 September 2016, issuance stopped at S-ABJ-345, then the skipped combinations were issued until 23 September. After S-ABH-207 was eventually registered, issuance resumed as of S-ABJ-346 and continued up to S-ABK-217 on 30 September 2016.
On 23 September 2016, issuance stopped at S-BCB-999 for an unknown reason; the following numbers were not issued until 29 September… It is possible that either unknown skipped numbers were issued (although unlikely), or the DIV skipped forward to an undetermined series. Another, more likely hypothesis would be that issuance was simply blocked due to some programming bug and that no S-B** plates were issued between 23 and 29 September 2016. Indeed, some 650+ S-B** plates were issued on 29 September, which indicates that the DIV was catching up with delayed registrations. Issuance continued up to S-BCC 990, which was the last B Class scooter plate using the small format.
On 30 September 2016, issuance of long format plates for microcars stopped definitively at S-UAD-875. Issuance of small format plates for microcars stopped at S-UZB 014.
The first micro plate for an A Class scooter (format 10 x 12 cm), SAEA 001, was issued on 1 October 2016.
The first micro plate for a B Class scooter (format 10 x 12 cm), SBCI 027, was issued on 1 October 2016. It was quite striking because the I is normally not being used anymore on non-vanity plates. Issuance continued until SBCI 936 on 5 October 2016, then it skipped to SBFA 001 and following.
The first plate for a 'speed pedelec' (i.e. a bike with an electric engine enabling it to drive faster than 25 km/h), SPAA 001, was issued on 3 October 2016.

The first 2017 export plate for a car, XA-17-AAA, was issued on 13 Octber 2016.
On 13 October 2015, the PYT series was skipped by mistake, probably because it was in the middle of other series skipped that day, namely: PYK, (PYM), PYN, (PYO), PYP, (PYQ), PYS.
Issuance of 2016 temporary plates stopped on 30 November 2016, with 649 plates issued. There were 7 skipped combinations: AAP, AAS, AEL, ALA, ALI, ANE, ASS, plus AY* and AZ*, reserved for square and small formats. 9 WM-16 plates were issued, but no WQ-16 or WS-16 plates.

Combinations starting with the letter I (IAA–IZZ) were skipped, too. AY*, AZ*, BY*, BZ*, CY*, CZ*, DY*, DZ*, EY*, EZ*, FY*, FZ*, GY*, GZ*, HY*, HZ*, JY* and JZ* combinations were skipped as well because they were reserved for square and small formats. 14 XM-16 plates were issued, and 203 XQ-16 plates (AAP, AAS and AEL skipped), but no XS-16 plates.

The first small format temporary plate for a car, WA-17-AZA, was issued on 30 January 2017.
The first micro format oldtimer plate for a micro car, OSUA 101, was issued on 7 February 2017. Long rectangular format plates, ranging from O-SUA-001 to O-SUA-100, had probably been made, but will never be issued because the micro format is the only one left for scooters.
Due to a problem of data transfer between the Public Service for Mobility and the Public Service for Economy, commercial plates could not be issued between 10 and 27 March 2017.
On 8 June 2017, the whole SLN series was skipped, probably due to a mistake.
On 22 June 2017, plates ranging from M-ALZ 003 up to M-ALZ-999 were skipped (i.e. 997 plates). Issuance had skipped directly from M-ALZ 002 to M-ANA 001, then reached M-ANB 731 before going back to the skipped combinations, which were registered between 27 and 29 June 2017. Issuance then resumed as of M-ANB 732.
On 3 July 2017, oldtimer Class B scooter plates ranging from OSBD 201 to OSBD 299 (i.e. 99 plates) were skipped for an unknown reason.
On 5 July 2017, issuance of small format oldtimer plates stopped at O-AZH 500 and jumped to O-BZA 001 on 7 July 2017 and reached O-BZA 072. Regular issuance then resumed at O-AZH 501 on 12 July 2017.

On 29 June 2018, issuance of speed pedelec plates jumped directly from SPAL 999 to SPAN 052, skipping 51 plates in the process (SPAM plates were not issued because M was still a forbidden letter at the time of production).

On 27 July 2018, issuance of oldtimer motorcycle plates skipped directly from O-MAP 999 to O-MAX 001 for no reason, skipping the O-MAR, O-MAT, O-MAU and O-MAV series in the process. O-MAS plates would not have been issued because MAS is a forbidden combination, and O-MAW were not made because W was a forbidden combination at the time of production.
On 27 July 2018, issuance of ordinary plates stopped at 1-USG-017 and went straight to 1-UUJ-001 for an unknown reason. These combinations remain unissued so far.
On 27 July 2018, issuance of oldtimer motorcycle plates jumped from O-MAP 999 to O-MAX 001, skipping O-MAQ to O-MAW series in the process. O-MAS series would not have been issued anyway, because MAS is a forbidden series.

[…]
On 6 March 2019, issuance went directly from SUAP 500 to SUAR001, skipping plates ranging from SUAP 501 to SUAQ 999, although it was predictible that the SUAQ series would not be issued.
On 5 April 2019, issuance of speed pedelec plates stopped at SPAZ 662, before resuming as of SPBA 001 on 8 April 2019; only five plates were issued that day, though. The skipped combinations are still available.
On 29 July 2019, issuance stopped at G-LXN 563, then continued as of G-LXN 701, meaning that combinations ranging from G-LXN 564 to G-LXN 700, i.e. 137 plates, were not issued.

[…]
Dealer plates: issuance was stuck at 1-ZBH-907 on 8 January 2020… It resumed on 10 January until 1-ZBJ-100, then stopped again. Probably the stock was empty and the plate producer needed to make more… Issuance resumed on 14 January as of 1-ZBJ-101 up to 1-ZBJ-235, then up to 1-ZBJ-400 on 15 January. Issuance stopped again, then resumed. No fewer than a total of 358 plates were issued on 15 January 2020, which is an absolute record — due to the backlog, admittedly.
Road tests plates: issuance stopped at 2-ZZA-500 on 9 January 2020; no plates on 10 January and issuance resumed on 13 January in the afternoon… to stop again later at 2-ZZA-600. Issuance resumed on 14 January in the afternoon, as of 2-ZZA-601. Probably the stock was empty and the plate producer needed to make more… On 15 January 2020, no fewer than 187 plates were issued, which constitutes an absolute record.
In 2020, Q-AKI and Q-AKO series were also issued this year, despite the fact that the letters I and O are forbidden, except on vanity plates…
On 17 June 2020, a record-breaking amount of motorcycle plates were issued: 946 combinations.
Series temporarily skipped because they are reserved for the square and small formats: BZA to BZZ; CZA to CZZ; DZA to DZZ; FYA to FYZ and FZA to FZZ; GYA to GYZ and GZA to GZZ; JYA to JYZ and JZA to JZZ; KYA to KYZ and KZA to KZZ; LYA to LYZ and LZA to LZZ; NYA to NYZ and NZA to NZZ; RYA to RYZ and RZA to RZZ. The DY* series are currently being issued as square format plates and AZ* series as small format plates. Series ranging from EYA to EZZ, HYA to HZZ, PYA to PZZ and SYA to SZZ have been issued as regular rectangular plates due to a programmer's mistake (respectively in April-May 2013, October-November 2014, October 2016 and August 2017).
