Format, years and the law

Format
999, for example 192 (9 any digit)

PROVA is not an acronym, it is simply Catalan for "test", stamped on the trade plate a dealer's vehicles wear while out on trial. The three digits are the shortest serial in the Andorran catalogue.

The format above follows the issuing rules: a registration that fits it is one this series could have issued.

Years issued
Documented since 1999; the format is likely older than the first year documented. Still issued.
Vehicle class
Dealer: trade/garage plates bound to a business, not a vehicle. Issued for car, van, and motorcycle.
Colours
Characters #E1051E Background #00A651

About this plate
DEALER / TEST PLATES, and visually the most striking in the catalogue: RED characters on a GREEN ground, both Pantone-specified, on a 300x190 mm plate. Nothing else in the microstates group looks remotely like it.
About its years
Also older than the current Reglament: the 1999 Codi art. 151(b) carried it, "Les plaques han de contenir la menció 'PROVA', han de portar gravat un número d'ordre i l'any del seu lliurament, que també és l'any de validesa." Current spec at art. 16 of Decret 456/2022.
Format notes
THE SERIAL IS THE THREE DIGITS; "PROVA" IS A LEGEND. art. 16.1 says so in terms, "A la part inferior s'hi troba la llegenda 'PROVA'", and Llei 24/2014 art. 7.1(i) reinforces it by calling PROVA "la paraula" (the word) where it calls MT, CD, CMD, A and CC "les lletres" grouped with digits. The statute's own vocabulary distinguishes a legend from a serial prefix, and this file follows it.
