About this plate
THE C PLATE, green on white, C plus five digits, with a printed validity. It does two jobs § 127 keeps deliberately separate: it covers a vehicle seeking individual approval, deregistered for export or not subject to registration (ods. 1), AND, under ods. 13, an unapproved motor or trailer used for AGRICULTURAL OR FORESTRY WORK on its owner's application, an application the statute requires to include photographs of the vehicle from the front, side and rear.
Region code notes
structurally none, § 127 ods. 4 disapplies the top-line letter pair for this row, so the C plate carried no district code even before 2023
