Format, years and the law

Format
LL999, for example GI267 (L is any letter, 9 any digit)

The one San Marino plate where the characters mean exactly what you pay them to mean: the combination is the owner's own choice, at EUR 900 a pair, provided it includes a digit and offends no one.

The format above is broad: a registration that fits it has the right shape, which does not show that this series issued it.

Years issued
Documented since 2003; the format is likely older than the first year documented. Still issued.
Vehicle class
Personalized: owner-chosen serials inside an official frame. Issued for car and van.
Colours
Characters #005387 Background #FFFFFF

About this plate
PERSONALIZED PLATES, from 2003. Priced at EUR 750 initially and EUR 900 a pair under DD 132/2022 art. 8. Distinct from the RESERVATION right of DD 132/2022 art. 7, which lets a buyer book an ordinary-series number within the next 400 or 1,000 numbers for EUR 50 or EUR 100, that is a booking mechanism on the ordinary series, not a series of its own, and is not modelled.
About its years
2003, NOT 2004. Decreto 11 novembre 2003 n. 149 creates the special series; Decreto 26 luglio 2004 n. 107 merely widens its grammar. Secondary accounts date the scheme to 2004, which is the amending instrument rather than the creating one, a small instance of the same error class the period discipline exists to catch.
Format notes
The grammar has been rewritten three times and is now a CONSTRAINT rather than a template: DD 132/2022 art. 6 replaced the enumerated patterns with "La serie alfanumerica speciale deve essere composta obbligatoriamente da almeno due caratteri alfabetici ed almeno da un carattere numerico."
