# Norwegian vehicle registration plate (`no_vehicle_plate`)

> **Draft.** Draft records have not been reviewed yet and may be incomplete or wrong; do not treat them as authoritative for legal or compliance decisions.

Registration number on Norwegian vehicle plates since 1971: two letters followed by five digits for most cars, or four digits for motorcycles, mopeds, trailers and some cars. The letters G, I, O and Q (except in GA for gas-powered vehicles) and Æ, Ø and Å are not used, and NS and SS are omitted on car plates; the regexp does not check the omitted pairs.
