Vehicle registration plates of New Cambria

In new Cambria, licence plates (more correctly "registration plates") are issued by one of the four territorial divisions of the National Automobile Agency. In most licence plates, there is a small sticker, which indicates the month and year of plate renewal, that the driver sticks to the licence plates. The driver may choose one of the several standard designs offered. Most designs include black characters on white reflective background. The most recent designs always include the country's name (sometimes in several languages). The font used is a variation of FE-Schrift.

The international vehicle registration code for the country is "RNC" (Republic of New Cambria in English, or République de Nouvelle-Cambrie in French).

The standard dimensions of the license plate are 300 × 150 mm. Optionally the European-styled 520 × 111 mm plates may be ordered.

Motorists have the right to transfer plates from their previous vehicle to the new one, or to "sell" any licence plate to a new owner for registration on another vehicle.

Serial formats


Every is licence plate number is a unique combination of letters, digits, and/or hyphens up to 6 characters long (including hyphens).

Most cars use the series A-1111, AA-111, or AAA-11 (which gives 2,675,322 possible combinations); the the beginning zeros are omitted (i.e. A-1, A-11, A-111, AA-1, AA-11, and AAA-1 are valid sub-series too). Licence plate numbers are usually assigned in ascending order, but the combinations that may appear offensive (e.g. TIT-5 that may be interpreted as "TITS") are not used.

By default the four territorial divisions of the National Automobile Agency are assigned the first letter of the licence plate number number within the next range:


 * Saint George's division || A – I
 * The Eastern division || J – R
 * The Western division || S – Y
 * Cavit and Outer Islands division || Z
 * }
 * Cavit and Outer Islands division || Z
 * }
 * }

But for additional charge the drivers may order any combination they want.

The "vanity plates" consisting of letters only (up to six letters long) are permitted since 1998.
