## About this plate

THE ANLEGGSSKILT, black with light-yellow characters, for vehicles approved but never driven on public roads. THE SVALBARD POINT is the one worth knowing: Svalbard's roads are private, so every vehicle in the archipelago carries this plate, on the ZN and FH combinations. That makes the black plate the only Norwegian plate whose colour plus combination together do encode a place.

## How numbers are issued

same letter allocation and same number ranges as the ordinary white plate, only the colour differs
