About this plate
TRAILERS, "Q" INDEX, from 01-01-2021. Belgium registers trailers separately and gives them their own number, unlike the Dutch rule that ties light trailers to the towing vehicle's plate, but arrete royal art. 30 still requires a REPRODUCTION of the towing vehicle's plate on a trailer that is not itself Belgian-registered, and on a bike carrier.
