Vehicle Registration Plates Of Belgium
Number plates in Belgium are driver specific. If you trade in your old car for a new one, you keep your old number plate.
The rear license plate is state supplied, while the front license plate is owner supplied. This has its influence on the look of the front license plate which can be identical to the rear one or similar to European license plates with a blue EU flag in it. This explains why you often see scratched, dirty, or old number plates on new cars in Belgium. The rear license plate is usually mounted to another plate which contains the "B" letter and usually an advertisement for the car dealer.
