I don't know how to handle it. As a code collector, I try to see all the different codes. I'm always happy when I find another code. But for a few years now, Norway, among others, has been making my life/collecting difficult. Why is it now possible to choose any code? Similar to France, this reduces my enjoyment of collecting, as I can no longer be sure that the vehicle was ever at the location of its code. It's a shame that it's now so ambiguous. But thank you for your research and keep up the good sightings!

It was most probably bought new and registered in Bergen back in the day, but most cars keep their original plate unless it's lost or stolen. I don't think it detracts from collecting codes though? Some people choose to register their car elsewhere because of personal preference, ZZ for example is quite popular because it "looks cool" I guess. I myself chose to register my car as VX instead of VJ because I think equal-width letters look better.

Even in Germany, you can take your old code with you after moving and do not have to change. However, you cannot freely choose a code for a new registration - in my opinion, that would also make no sense. So there is always a regional reference for the codes. Of course, I respect your decision, even if you “only” made it for aesthetic and fun reasons. If I were you, I would probably have opted for the “personal plate” option, but I suspect it's quite expensive, right? Unfortunately, there is no such option in Germany, but apart from such variants, I actually like the real regional reference of the codes.

Yeah, the price for personal plates is 767 euros for a 10 year period... The car still keeps its original "real" plate though, and will revert to that when the vanity plate is expired or moved to another car.
