About this plate
THE CURRENT NATIONAL FIGURE PLATE, whose issuance window MLIT states with BOTH ends: 18 April 2022 to 30 April 2027. MLIT lists three earlier national programmes as 「今までに交付された」 (already issued and now closed): the Rugby World Cup plate, the Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic plate, and the Osaka-Kansai Expo plate.

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. 図柄ナンバープレート（全国版）: 「2022年4月18日～2027年4月30日」, motif 「47都道府県のお花をモチーフとした図柄」, 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/
