Admittedly, it is peanuts, but that million euro for the Belgian treasury is a million more than the government earns on personalized license plates.

From 1 april, our neighbours, the opportunities for ‘private’ plates expanded: a raison of 1,000 euro per registration you can get your own plate making, provided it is not offensive, racist, xenophobic, or offensive. The fixed price is a bit different than in the United Kingdom, where it applies: the shorter/more unique the picture, the more expensive.

The number of applications is since this week is already in 986, according to La Dernière Heure. Do you do the math but. To march 31, started each personalized license plate with the digit 9, now no more.

Himself a Belgian, and a snazzy plate scored? Don’t be stingy and share your new addition with your petroheadvrienden of autojunk.

Thanks to MrDriver for the tip!
