Re: Private Reg / Licence Plate
Hi,
Just curious really. I have a private plate in the UK and I'm wondering what the deal is with private plates in Canada (Ontario if the rules are different per province). I know that there is not the same rules around letters and number combo's and also I believe plates always stay with the owners when you change cars even if they aren't private?
Just generally wondering how do plates work over there? Are private plates expensive? What are the limits on what you can have etc??

Here in NS I pay $129.28 per year. All registration plates are owned by the Department of Motor Vehicles and you 'rent' them yearly.
There are restrictions but you go in to the Department of Motor Vehicles with your choice, they tap it into the computer and if it's available you purchase it for a year. Every year thereafter, you can renew it or change it

Both my Husband and I have vanity plates - I only got mine last year, OH has a few, seeing as they are a decent priced birthday pressie it's not a bad thing to have.

Re: Private Reg / Licence Plate
