About this plate
"Letters OR a combination of letters and numbers", on its face an all-NUMERIC personalized plate is not authorised, since every permitted form contains at least one letter. Fees: Schedule F Part 1 distinguishes applicants under 60 from those 60 or older, and reg. 8(5) halves the fee for the latter, an age-graded plate fee, which no other jurisdiction in this group has.
