About this plate
THE INDEX-EIGHT PLATE, 15-11-2010 to 31-12-2020, Belgium's long-duration temporary registration for diplomatic and NATO-related holders, and the one period in which such a plate could be identified from its string alone. A parse API can therefore date an "8-ABC-123" plate to this decade with high confidence, which no other Belgian shape allows.
