Highest sightings of
Norwegian trade plates

[Normal series] [4 numerals (trailers etc.)] [Diplomats] [Export]

These are highest sightings of trade plates. Bear in mind that few trade plates from northern Norway are seen in southern Norway, where I live.

Old numbers are re-issued once an office has exhausted its combinations.

I don't keep track of provisional adhesive plates (3 digits). This is because they are
re-issued and aren't always issued in ascending order of letters.

Trailer trade plates have the letter T as a suffix to the registration. In the 1971-2001 plate style they had the legend FOR TILHENGER. Two line motorcycle trade plates existed in the old style, but not in the new.

Plates in 2006 style are shown in bold lettering.
Plates in 2002 style in normal lettering.
Plates in 1971 style in italic lettering.

(1) It is hard to distinguish trade plates from Larvik and Sandefjord. In current lists Sandefjord is listed only with LY and Larvik LS,LT,LU,LV,LX,LZ,NA,NB,NC. However, Sandefjord had already used LZ so where NA is from is unclear. (2)) Bergen started re-issuing from SN when SZ 99 was reached. (3) ZN trade plates are reported to have been used in Tromsø.

Have you spotted any higher? Contact Olavsplates and I will include them in the list.
