About this plate
It is not. The enabling amendment is förordning (2017:100) of 16 February 2017, which rewrote the pending lydelse in förordning (2016:1216); that lydelse entered into force on 20 May 2017, under the OLD förordningen (2001:650) om vägtrafikregister. Förordningen (2019:383) simply re-enacted the same two alternatives when it replaced 2001:650 on 1 July 2019, five and a half months AFTER the first plates were issued. Three dates, all sourced, none of them interchangeable: 2017-02-16 decided, 2017-05-20 legal, 2019-01-16 issued.
How numbers are issued
"Från och med nu kommer de nya registreringsnumren att fasas in successivt och de nya kombinationerna kommer att prioriteras när registreringsnummer ska tilldelas" (2019-01-16). Both shapes issue in parallel and the old one was not withdrawn: "Men det gamla formatet finns också kvar. Det innebär att ingen behöver byta ut sin registreringsskylt."
