## About this plate

MILITÄR REGISTRERINGSSKYLT. A separate REGISTER, not merely a separate series: Försvarsmakten keeps the militära fordonsregistret and assigns the numbers, and 1 kap. 1 § förordningen (2019:383) disapplies the civil rules for it. Live edge worth recording: 5 kap. 6 a §, added by förordning (2024:603), lets American military vehicles present in Sweden under the December 2023 defence-cooperation agreement carry Swedish military plates on request.

## About the format

DIGITS ONLY is sourced, 5 kap. 6 § militärtrafikförordningen (2009:212): "Fordonets registreringsnummer ska anges på skylten med gula siffror på svart botten." The WIDTH is not: no reachable instrument states it. The 1-6 quantifier is a recall envelope, not a claim.
