About this plate
THE CURRENT NEW BRUNSWICK PLATE. THE DISPLAY RULE IS PRIMARY AND THE FORMAT IS NOT, the split is worth stating because the display rule is the more unusual fact. New Brunswick abolished the front plate in 2019, and this file does not take that from the newspaper the article cites: MVA s. 29(1) as consolidated puts a vehicle under 4 500 kg squarely in the one-plate limb, and the section's own amendment history line ends "2019, c. 6, s. 5", with s. 30 substituted by ss. 6-7 of the same statute. The instrument corroborates the secondary's date to the year. PARSE CAUTION: New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Newfoundland and Labrador all currently issue ABC 123, so a bare three-letter three-numeral string is not diagnostic of any of them; the province is recoverable only from the plate IMAGE (red serial and the galley wordmark here, blue serial and the Bluenose in Nova Scotia, blue serial and the pitcher plant in Newfoundland and Labrador).
How numbers are issued
the article's issuance record runs JEA 000 upward through the J and K blocks; there is NO date and NO region signal in a New Brunswick serial
