About this plate
THE TAXI PLATE WITHOUT THE T, from 1 April 2017. Its own series rather than a colour variant of the standard plate because it is a distinct statutory issuance (3 kap. 11 § makes it compulsory for a vehicle notified for taxi traffic, and 3 kap. 12 § requires its surrender), and because its predecessor carried an extra stamped character. Note the 2 b kap. 1 § taxitrafiklagen exception, added by förordning (2020:632): a vehicle notified under that provision need not have a taxi plate at all, so "yellow plate" is a sufficient but not necessary condition for a Swedish taxi.
