Format, years and the law

WW-999-LL, for exampleWW-979-ZI(L is any letter, 9 any digit)The pink WW adds a decode the white one never had: its right-hand field prints the expiry month and year, so the plate announces its own deadline. Pink plus WW can only mean a provisional issued from 2026 on.
The format above follows the issuing rules: a registration that fits it is one this series could have issued.

- About this plate
- WW PROVISIONAL FROM 1 JANUARY 2026, black on pink, with the expiry month and year in the right-hand field on the same pink ground. Same split logic as the W garage pair: identical number, new design, new series. Note that art. 8 itself was independently amended with effect from the same date (arrêté du 15 décembre 2025 art. 2), so the whole WW regime turns over on 1 January 2026 and the human pass should re-read art. 8 rather than assume continuity of the eligibility list.
