- About this plate
- The larger PNU motorcycle plate, mandatory for machines built (or moved to another municipality) from 1 January 2012 under Res. 372/2011. Both ends of this period are instrument dates: 1 January 2012 in Res. 231/2007 Anexo 3.1 as amended, and 31 January 2020 in Res. 780/2019 art. 21. Its dimensions, 200 x 170 mm, 53 mm characters, are exactly those the Mercosul two-wheeler plate then adopted, so the Brazilian motorcycle plate changed its colours, band and grammar in 2018-2020 without changing its size.
