For special occasions, there are two colored indicator (upper half basic blue, orange below), the house colors of the Grand Ducal family. They often consist of one or two digits. Again, other characteristics consist of only two numbers on yellow background, the left side of the grand-ducal coat of arms, instead of the country flag displayed.

If a abgemeldetes vehicle with license plate still present be re- logged, yet a new mark is awarded if the existing does not have six characters and was not awarded as a vanity plate.

There are not very many old marks with two letters and three digits (eg XY 123 ), but these are becoming increasingly blurred, as when a new purchase or a re-registration of the vehicle is a characteristic change to the new format required.
