About this plate
THE CURRENT QUÉBEC PASSENGER PLATE. WHY 2023 AND NOT 2022 IS THE INTERESTING PART: Québec ran the immediately preceding 12A BCD arrangement for roughly nine months before withdrawing it, the article says, because too many offensive letter combinations were reachable.
Region code notes
A Québec plate encodes NO geography and NO date, only class, through the prefix table, and a private passenger plate has no prefix at all.
How numbers are issued
AAA 01A upward per the article's issuance record
