Vehicle registration plates of Belgium
Vehicle registration plates in Belgium are driver specific, meaning that they are transferred to a new vehicle from the owner's previous one. Because of this, scratched, dirty, or old license plates may be sometimes affixed onto new cars in Belgium.
The rear registration plate is state-supplied, while the front plate is owner-supplied. This means that front plates can vary in material. Regulations for the older front plates were previously much less strict, they could differ from the standardized rear plates in size, letter colouring and design, however such customization is longer permitted with the current series.
The responsible government agency is the Vehicle Registration Service (DIV) of the Federal Public Service Mobility and Transport.
