License plate (Namibia)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Vehicle license plates in Namibia are issued by the Roads Authority or the Namibia Traffic Information System (NaTIS).

In the standard version for private cars and trucks, the license plates are uniform throughout the country in yellow with black lettering. They are to be attached to the front and rear of cars in the same size, to motorcycles, quads and trailers only to the rear.

Standard license plate

All yellow standard license plates with black letters and a black border begin with an "N" for Namibia, followed by one to six digits. Six digits should be divided by a dividing line in the middle. At the end of the license plate there are a maximum of two letters that reflect the registration office (similar to the German vehicle license plate system ).

Desired license plate

Custom license plate from Namibia

Since July 2007, the main registration office in Windhoek also issues license plates ( english "Vanity Plates" ). These consist of one to seven digits or letters or a combination of these, followed by the Namibian flag and the letters "NA" for Namibia. In contrast to the standard license plates, the font color and the border are blue and the background white for these desired license plates. No local reference to the origin of a registration authority can be seen on these license plates.
