## About this plate

The district digit is the only Norwegian region encoding outside the two letter tables, and it decodes the ISSUING OFFICE, not a destination. Nothing in the string separates them, only the ground colour and this plate's red expiry borders do.

## How numbers are issued

THE FIRST DIGIT IS THE ISSUING POLICE DISTRICT, 1 Oslo, 2 Larvik, 3 Kristiansand, 4 Stavanger, 5 Bergen, 6 Trondheim, 7 Troms. In 2004 Oslo exhausted its combinations and restarted its sequence from the beginning, so the digit does NOT support any age inference.
