In May 1993 validation stickers were introduced in Norway.
They are required on both front and rear plates. At first only white and green plates with 5 numerals needed them, from 1998 blue plates (diplomats), too.

The stickers introduced in May 1993 had the year '94' and were valid until August 1994. New stickers are sent to vehicle owners in May or June each year and are valid until August the next year.

Colour sequence:
94 red - 95 yellow - 96 blue - 97 red - 98 yellow - 99 blue -
2000 red - 2001 yellow - 2002 blue - 2003 red - 2004 yellow -
2005 blue - 2006 red - 2007 yellow - 2008 blue - 2009 red.

The following images show genuine validation stickers.
Actual size is 20x50 mm. The registration appears in the white field.

Notice the change from using the last two digits of the year to all four. This commenced with 2000 stickers.

Since 2005 stickers have a different design to accomodate a bar code containing the registration. See a newspaper article on the subject. Stickers since 2005 in the old design also exist and are used on newly registered cars with the registration in handwriting. This has also been the case for newly registered cars earlier. Sometimes the registration is missing and there is simply a serial number.

These are the official illustrations showing how the
stickers are supposed to be placed.

When stickers were introduced, the current series of plates had been in use for 22 years. There was no place on the plate for a large sticker like the Swedish one. So they made a narrow one to be placed between the letters and numerals. The height is such that there is always room enough for the sticker above or below even if there is a screw in the middle of the plate. On the new plates from December 2001 and November 2006 there is an embossed space for the stickers.
