Beerlab user5511 suddenly. It's an overseas territory, not a department. It seems that the French are already giving out theirs everywhere, only the code is changing.
No, Guyane is both a Department and a Region, just like those on the Mainland + Corsica. French Overseas Territories do not follow the SIV system (unlike Overseas Departments).
Beerlab user5511 Получается полноценная Франция в ЮА. неожиданно. Это ведь заморская территория, а не департамент. Похоже, французы уже везде свои выдают, только код меняется.
Да, на территориях Франции за пределами метрополии - отличие в номерах исключительно в наличии другого номера департамента, не 01-95, а 3-значного. Пару раз встречал здесь авто из этих столь дальних департаментов. Одна из машин была с острова, неподалёку от Мадагаскара
Rhineland-Palatinate Left hand driving, signs with Chinese and Indian names and in the middle of it all a French plate... This part of South America is so interesting
Redman Beerlab user5511 Yes, in the territories of France outside the Mainland - the difference in their plates is only in the presence of another department number, not 01-95, but a 3-digit one. A couple of times I met cars from these distant departments here. One of the cars was from an island, not far from Madagascar
You can choose whatever department you want in France. Even Overseas Collectivities such as New Caledonia (988) can be seen on regular plates, even though they are not departments nor regions. I doubt it really came from Réunion.
The only way to really now whether a car comes from Overseas Departments/Regions on SIV plates is to see a local dealership directly printed below the plate.

Oh wow! I didn't know that it's possible to change it. That's interesting
I'm even afraid to imagine how much it costs to send to Europe from Reunion, or, OMG, from New Caledonia. And what kind of car needs to be transported for it to make sense.

You would be surprised to know how common it actually is! For example, the French state ships private cars for free when a transfer to Overseas Departments or Collectivities is made, notably with public workers, national police and gendarmery officers or military staff.
Very likely to be the case of this C3 seen in Montgeron (91) by Hadri 45

Indeed.. It looks very cool ngl, but these are just wannabe plates must of the time

Only the overseas departments (971, 972, 973, 974 and 976) are allowed on SIV license plates, not the other overseas collectivites

That’s why I said “even” ;)
They are technically not allowed but they are tolerated. And tbf, not a single soul cares about what regional code is displayed
