Photo from 2008 of a senate plate, probably the President of Senate.
Jan Van De Perre submitted these photos of a personalised plate.
Andy Hoppe from
autokennzeichen.info
submitted this photo from 2004. He explains:
I have seen this Belgian plate lately... It is similar to the plates used
for foreign personnel, but instead of the month and year (inside the
ring of yellow stars) it only says "EU - UE". It is possible that this
plate is a new version of the old plates with the blue letters
"EUR" (embossed) inside an embossed circle of stars. Since the plates
don't have an expiry date, I suppose it is not a private car of an EU
employee, but a vehicle from an EU facility in Brussels.
Ben, who works for the EU in Brussel, comments:
According to the EU Intranet, officials have three choices for their
number plate: 1. Belgian normal series plate (solution which was not
chosen by most in the old times but which is now chosen by the
majority). 2. "EUR" plate (solution which was the favourite one of EU
officials in the old times but which is now hardly chosen by anyone
because of the supposed hostility of people to EU officials).
3. "International" plate (with blue letters as submitted by A. Hoppe),
I supposed this possibility has been given to EU officials in order to
allow them to have a distinctive plate, but without the inconvenience
of having a big undiscreet "EUR" sign on it.
Ronnald Stannard submitted this photo of a manufacturer test plate
in 1997 onwards style. They are in the range ZZA-001 to ZZZ-999.
Lo van der Reijden submitted these plates.
They are all for military personnel stationed in Belgium and he has
used them all on his cars. The explanations are Lo's own words.
1975 SHAPE car plate (SB = SHAPE Belgium), for military working at
SHAPE and NATO and for civilians working in SHAPE.
Civilians working for NATO Brussels have a normal Belgian plate
starting with EVN, FVN or GVN.
1991 SHAPE car plate like the 1975 one,
but different font of the year.
1999 transit plate, but with a fixed year and a seal for the month of
expiring. I got that plate during my stay at the WEU Military Staff.
2001 a car plate which I got instead of the red transit plate.
All military and civilian staff at SHAPE have a plate like this one.
Starting at 900000.
From Blue Bull comes this photo of
the euro style front plate of his car.
Patrick submitted these photos of his own and his wife's car.
At first sight the plates look quite ordinary, but they are in fact
personalised. ANN is the name of Patrick's wife.
612 stands for 6th December, his wife's birthday.
ANN-612 is in the new style, ANN-789 the old.
The main difference is the red seal above the hyphen.
