Vehicle registration plates of Heigard

Heigardian car number plates show the place where the car carrying them is registered. Whenever a person changes its main residence within the country or buys a new car, they are required to buy new number plates. Number plates are valid for a period of 5 years. Buying new plates costs around €30 plus a fee for de-registering the old plate and registering the new one. During the 5-year use of plates a once-per year tax must be payed to allow circulation.
