About this plate
AN ENDED SERIES, kept because its end is exactly dated and because a parse API meeting one of these plates should be told the last one was issued no later than 17 June 2011. It was the Nordic reciprocal arrangement: a foreign vehicle from outside the EU/EEA could be temporarily registered on Danish nordiske grænsenummerplader for up to a year, and the plates and permit had to be handed in at the border on leaving for anywhere other than Finland, Norway or Sweden. BEK 651/2011 dropped the whole thing without a transitional provision.
About its years
END IS INSTRUMENT-DATED: the nordiske grænsenummerplade survives as § 99 of BEK 811/2010 and is GONE from BEK 651/2011, which came into force on 18 June 2011 and repealed BEK 811/2010 the same day (§ 101). The regime therefore ended on 17 June 2011. START IS AN UPPER BOUND: BEK 1567/2007, in force 1 January 2008, already carries it, and nothing earlier was reachable.
Region code notes
Danish Wikipedia reports that the first two digits identified the issuing motor office. That is a REAL decode claim and it is deliberately NOT shipped as a table: no source, primary or secondary, enumerates the office codes, and a decode table with no rows is worse than none.
