## About this plate

MALTESE SPECIAL AND PERSONALISED MARKS. Fees, from the First Schedule and recorded because they are the clearest evidence of the tiering: Standard Alphanumeric (Random) EUR 70 per pair; Standard Alphanumeric (Personalised), "where the choice of the characters and numerals shall lie with the person requesting the Numbers", EUR 200 per pair; each of the three Special formats EUR 1,500 per pair; duplicate plates EUR 35 each. TRANSFERABILITY IS THE INTERESTING RULE, reg. 30(4): random marks are NOT transferable independently of the vehicle, PERSONALISED marks ARE, and other marks transfer on payment of EUR 466 with exemptions for transfers causa mortis, between spouses, ascendants or direct collaterals, and between a company and its director or majority shareholder. A RESIDUAL GAP, recorded: reg. 30(3) provides that marks "shall be made available to the public in such manner as the Authority may from time to time establish by means of a NOTICE IN THE GAZETTE", so which specific marks are released is administrative and is not on legislation.mt.

## Region code notes

none, and note that a personalised mark DEFEATS the renewal-month rule of the standard series, since the First Schedule ties that rule to the Standard Alphanumeric Format (Random) type only

## About the format

S.L. 368.02 reg. 30(2), verbatim: "The registration mark may take any of the special numeric, special alphabetical or special alphanumeric formats specified in the First Schedule and can be composed of up to a MAXIMUM OF NINE CHARACTERS." The First Schedule defines them: Special Numeric Format, "Composed solely of any Arabic numeral"; Special Alphabetical Format, "Composed of any character of the Roman Alphabet"; Special Numeric and Alphabetical, "Composed of a mixture of numeric and alphabetical". So one to nine characters, letters and/or digits, in any arrangement.
