Vehicle Registration Plates of Gibraltar - Special Number Plates

Special Number Plates

  • Military vehicles in Gibraltar display regular UK military plates in the format nnLLnn. Most military vehicles in Gibraltar use the letters "RN" (reserved for Royal Navy vehicles), although some use other letters indicating that they are from Army or RAF. UK military vehicles do not carry national identity ovals, but sometimes display a small Union Flag.
  • The Chief Minister's official car has the registration number "G1".
  • The Governor's official car, following tradition, displays a Crown, in place of a registration plate with a number.
  • Some motorcycles display their taxation disc attached to the licence plate.
  • Temporary/export plates are similar to, and in the same series as, the regular issues. However at the right hand side of the plate is a green band, showing month and year of expiry. Until 2001 temporary tourist (duty free) plates had registrations from the normal series except that the prefix used was GG. This series reached past GG90000, and was probably superseded by the dated green band style when the suffix letter was introduced.
  • Dealers' plates are light blue with the letters DLR and a serial number in white. These are usually magnetic plates, but also can be simply written on paper or cardboard etc.

Famous quotes containing the words special, number and/or plates:

    “The gap between ideals and actualities, between dreams and achievements, the gap that can spur strong men to increased exertions, but can break the spirit of others—this gap is the most conspicuous, continuous land mark in American history. It is conspicuous and continuous not because Americans achieve little, but because they dream grandly. The gap is a standing reproach to Americans; but it marks them off as a special and singularly admirable community among the world’s peoples.”
    —George F. Will (b. 1941)

    “The poetic act consists of suddenly seeing that an idea splits up into a number of equal motifs and of grouping them; they rhyme.”
    —Stéphane Mallarmé (1842–1898)

    “Realms and islands were
    As plates dropped from his pocket.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
