Vehicle registration plates of Norway

The Norwegian license plates are usually made ​​of black text on a white background. On the left side the signs show a blue bar with the flag of Norway and the distinguishing signs of N. It is followed by two letters and five, and two-wheel trailers with four digits. The letters indicate the region in which the vehicle was first registered. A special feature is that the license plate assigned to the vehicle and not the owner. If a vehicle is sold, the flag remains irrespective of the domicile of the owner to receive. Buys example, a resident of Tromsø a car from Stavanger, it still retains the identifier RE. On request, you can receive the letters of another admissions office at each approval body, but only from the current combination. All the normal number plates ever issued in Norway have full force and effect.

Current System

The current classification system was introduced in 1971 and since then several times changed slightly. Originally a proportional font was used on the signs, which is why even shorter labels exist. This was for example the case when the number 1 occurred more than once. On 1 January 2002, the length of the mark on the European unit measure 510 × 110 mm was adapted and introduced a new monospace font. The layout was ( comparable to the Euro plate ) supplemented the left shield border on November 1, 2006 by a blue bar. In its upper part is the Norwegian flag and including mapped the distinguishing sign of N in white letters. However, it is possible to provide the blue beam by means of white ( Personbil ) or green ( Varebil ) labels which are available on request, in addition to the plate, to adhere. On request flag will be issued without blue bar. Furthermore, the font was changed again, as the old proved to be difficult to read, which led to confusion of letters ( eg, A and R). At the beginning of 2009, production was on a plastic plate, which in contrast to the metal plate do not have raised characters, converted. 2012 they decided to return to the aluminum plate.

Based on the number combination can be seen in which month called the vehicle for EU control, formerly Periodisk Kjøretøykontroll ( comparable to the German main study ), must. It is the last digit for the corresponding month, with two exceptions. The number 7 is for November, there must be no vehicle for EU control in July and in December, and in October the number 0 instead of 10 is provided. Also, is possible to find in Norway by SMS, who is the holder when the vehicle for EU control needs, and whether the annual tax was paid. For this one sends a text message with the symbol REG and the corresponding indicator to the number 2282 and receives data via SMS.

Admission

Before a car in Norway may be allowed, called a Engangsavgift must be paid. This is calculated by weight, displacement, power, age and vehicle type and may be more than half of the comparable German market value at normal car. Concessions are in this delivery trucks, buses, caravans and the so-called Varebil ( " Goods Vehicle "; trucks up to 3.5 tonnes with a maximum of three seats and cargo space separated ). To facilitate the distinction normal car latter get a license plate with black lettering and green background. However, this has no effect on the annual road tax; Private individuals can make use of the green flag, which is also often used because of the much lower purchase prices for Varebil. People with permanent residence in Norway it is legally prohibited to drive there cars with foreign registration. The only exceptions are for foreigners with temporary contracts (maximum two years) as well as for professional drivers (shipping, etc.). Exceptions must be requested in advance at the customs for the most part.

Badge

In both indicators, a rectangular plaque ( in Norwegian called " oblate " ) was stuck in the past, the year, the color in the order of blue / red / yellow and so on changed and is individually issued to the holder by the Norwegian Public Roads Administration in the previous year. This plaque showed not only that the vehicle has passed the technical examination; she testified in particular that also road tax and insurance have been paid properly. On 1 May 2012, the award of the badge was set as automatic number plate recognition systems they had made redundant. The abolition is hoped that a reduction in administrative costs. The use of such inspection stickers had been mailed already to Swedish (2010) and Estonian license plates in favor of electronic recording.
