Hi. This is not a Belgian license plate though. This is just an export plate from the Netherlands. Export from Belgium uses only red plates with white letters and numbers. In Belgium we don't use those types of letters and numbers.

Just because it doesn't look like a standard Belgian plate doesn't mean the registration isn't Belgian...

Bulgaria has system to check vignettes. The owner of this car stated on the vignette that the vehicle is Belgian registered.

As a Belgian license plate collector i know this is plate from the Netherlands. I don’t want an argument, I’m just giving you the correct info.

I don't want to argue either, I'd just like to find out what this plate is exactly. I have spotted another one of these (Link) in the past. From what I understand, these are vehicles which arrived from Belgium to the Netherlands without license plates, and new plates were issued based on the Belgian registration of the vehicle, to export it from the Netherlands. Am I correct?

Other than the font and the export insurance sticker, I don't see any other resemblance with Dutch license plates. 1-ABC-123 is not a format that was ever issued there.

Exactly. The car must have been in the Netherlands without license plate. Because the Belgian plate was already cancelled, therefore now the white license plate is from the Netherlands. To export a car without a plate from the Netherlands they use the digits last known on the documents of the car.

So by your logic, if this car was bought from Netherlands but not registered in the Netherlands, it would also get the last Belgian plate issued as a transit number. The licence plate is issued by NL but it's of the Belgian number, therefore it's a Belgian spot.

But the documents are still Belgian, right? So the registration is Belgian, it doesn't matter where the license plates were made.

Making copies of the car's plates written in the documents is something commonly done by exporters, and it is well documented on Platesmania on spots with the "non-standard plate" tag. The Danish and Norwegian galleries are good examples, and many Belgian cars I see have a rear license plate without the official stamp. Just because the Netherlands makes these plates officially, which is an oddity of its own, doesn't mean this car is Dutch.

Like i said to Lulzyboy: I thought Platesmania is all about the plates, not the car. So yeah, I just telling you more info about the plate So Belgium car, NL plates.
