Vehicle registration plates of Bermuda
Bermuda requires its residents to register their motor vehicles and display vehicle registration plates.[1]
Since 1975 Bermudian licence plates issued to general passenger vehicles have five black digits on a plain white background (both front and rear), are European standard 520 mm × 110 mm, and use British stamping dies. Non-private vehicles have licence plates with two preceding letters followed by three numbers.
Personalised plates have become available that allow motorists to choose up to seven characters, overlaid on a map of the island with "Bermuda" printed across the top, on a North American standard 6 × 12 inches (152 × 300 mm) sized plate.[2]

Before 1975, Bermudian number plates were similar to the plates used by US Forces. A preceding 'P' denoted a private vehicle; it was followed by four digits and was white-on-black.[3] | |||||
