## About this plate

PROVISORISK REGISTRERINGSSKYLT, issued by the POLICE, not by Transportstyrelsen, when a plate is lost or stolen. Its own series rather than a variant because the issuing authority, the colour and the (absent) retroreflectivity requirement all differ from the ordinary plate. SIZE CHANGE WORTH RECORDING: 445x120 mm under bilregisterkungörelsen 25 § and still 445x120 in Transportstyrelsen's own March 2014 publication; 520x110 under TSFS 2015:63 6 kap. 15 § (in force 2016-01-01). Distinct from the interimsskylt: 10 kap. 4 § provides in terms that "En interimsskylt får dock inte vara provisorisk."

## How long it is valid

note: 3 kap. 17 § förordningen (2019:383): usable only until the owner or driver has received a replacement plate (ersättningsskylt), which must then be fitted as soon as possible.
