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.

Since 2002 trade plates are smaller than before and reflective.
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 1971-2002 style, but not after that.

Plastic plates from 2009 are shown in bold lettering.
Plates in 2006 style in normal lettering.
Plates in 2002 style in italic lettering.
Plates in 1971 style in underlined lettering.

Thanks to the following who have contributed in 2010: Ole Petter Sandvig, Geir Arild Hustad and Vegar Norheim.
(1) 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. It is believed that trade plates from Larvik and Sandefjord are now in a single series. (2)) Bergen started re-issuing from SN when SZ 99 was reached. TA commenced in 2008. (3) ZN trade plates have been used both in Tromsø and Svalbard.

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