## About the format

11 § assigns the number "enligt 4 §", the ordinary rule.

## How long it is valid

note: Set per decision, not by a fixed statutory period; the expiry is printed on the plate. A vehicle temporarily registered under 17 § första stycket 1-3 lagen (2019:370) must LEAVE the country within the registration's validity (10 kap. 3 § förordningen 2019:383), and non-departure of a non-Union good is reported to Tullverket.
