## About this plate

Secondary sources date this to 2007 essentially unanimously. The instrument is reglugerð nr. The 2007 story is not baseless, merely mistargeted: the only 2007 amendment to 751/2003 is reglugerð 1231/2007, which concerns the age-65 restriction on renewing a personalised plate. It is possible that first ISSUANCE of three-letter marks lagged into 2007, and 691/2006 contains no first-issue wording either way; but a legal date is pinned and an issuance date is not, so the pinned one is recorded and this note carries the caveat. This shape is the ONLY era signal an Icelandic plate carries: three letters means on or after 25 July 2006.
