Description

Individuals and organisations can apply for a personalised registration number if they want to use their name or that of an organisation as a motor vehicle registration number. The personalised registration number is displayed in the same manner as the normal registration number. The number becomes the property of the person in whose name the number is registered.

A personalised number plate must comply with the requirements of a normal registration plate (e.g. must display the logo of the province).
