Vehicle registration plates of Bermuda

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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]
