About this plate
THE GREEN×EXPO 2027 SPECIAL-SPECIFICATION PLATE (特別仕様ナンバープレート), issued 14 July 2025 to 30 November 2027 with applications from 9 June 2025, MLIT publishes all three dates. It is modelled separately from the national and regional programmes because 特別仕様 is MLIT's own third category, it runs to its own calendar, and its donation stream is earmarked for expo-related transport rather than for road safety or regional tourism.

Legal basis and sources

  1. 第一号様式（自動車登録番号標）（第十一条関係） remark (3) closing clause 「…とするほか、国土交通大臣の定めるところによる。」, the delegation this programme hangs on; the ministerial notice itself was NOT pinned https://laws.e-gov.go.jp/law/326M50000800074
  2. 第十一条 + 第一号様式: the base plate the artwork is laid over is unchanged, which is why the number itself is the ordinary one https://laws.e-gov.go.jp/law/326M50000800074
  3. GREEN×EXPO 2027 特別仕様ナンバープレート: 「交付期間 2025年7月14日～2027年11月30日」, 「申込受付 2025年6月9日～」, eligible 自家用登録車/事業用登録車/自家用軽自動車 https://www.mlit.go.jp/jidosha/zugaranumber_top/
