About this plate
The character budget also grew: 2-6 under the 1988 förordning, 2-7 on the full-size plate under TSFS 2015:63 12 kap. 9 §.
Who the plate belongs to
The RIGHT is personal and time-limited, not the plate: 11 kap. 9 § förordningen (2019:383) gives ten years, renewable in five- or ten-year periods, and the combination may be moved to another vehicle the holder owns on notification. 15 kap. 7 § 6 lets Transportstyrelsen permit a transfer of the right to someone else, but only "om det finns särskilda skäl". The vehicle keeps its ordinary registration number throughout.
