## About this plate

DENMARK'S EXPORT PLATE, and its shape is unusual enough to be worth spelling out: a white plate with a RED FIELD on the left carrying "DK" over the two-digit year the registration expires, then a bare five-digit serial with no letters at all. The EU band is compulsory on it. The regime is narrower than "export" suggests, § 60 is written for a resident who is emigrating or going abroad for an extended period and taking the car, not for the trade, and the vehicle can be neither re-registered to anyone else nor have its plates moved. English Wikipedia calls it a "temporary export plate", which is close enough to be worth noting and loose enough not to be adopted as the definition.
