European License Plates
I see many people in the United States with EU plates on their cars. They are a neat item to have, but are unfortunately very generic, as they can be had anywhere. I understand that most of the plates in Europe have stickers designating the provinces, or municipalities that the car is registered in. If anyone could acquire a plate for me, I would be willing to send you the money to get it across the sea. If anyone could do that, I would greatly appreciate it. I am looking for plates from different countries, but I would really like one from the Czech or Slovak Republics.

Re: European License Plates
Well, as far as I know if the license plate is void the seals are either scraped off or otherwise defaced. At least here if you de-register your car the license plates are collected and destroyed by the registration office.

Re: European License Plates
I don't think thats quite legal.
 Btw. I checked most plates in Europe are generic just as those in the US...in fact since each US state has different plate US plates are far more diverse than those of most countries. The only countries with diverse CoA's on their plates as AFAIK are Switzerland(cantons), Austria(provinces), Slovenia(muncipalities-towns).

Re: European License Plates
...and Germany (landers), Italy has a blue stripe in the right of the plate with the province name, there is a project in Spain to put the Autonomic Community flag in the right of the plate but it is going slow.
I think Ireland and France have numbers or letters in the plate to differenciate different departments and provinces, could anyone confirm this please?

For it is certain that Ireland hath had the use of letters very anciently and long before England; that they had letters anciently is nothing doubtful, for the Saxons of England are said to have their letters and learning, and learned men, from the Irish. - Edmund Spenser (writer, and British Government Official in Ireland, AD 1596). The renaissance began in Ireland seven hundred years before it was known in Italy. And Armagh, the ecclesiastical capital of Ireland, was at one time the metropolis of civilisation. - Arsene Darmesteter, Professor of Old French and Literature Ireland can indeed lay claim to a great past; she can not only boast of having been the birthplace and abode of high culture in the fifth and sixth centuries . . . but also of having made strenous efforts in the seventh and up to the tenth century to spread her learning among the German and Romance peoples, thus forming the actual fountain of our present continental civilisation. - Heinrich Zimmer, Professor of Celtic and Sanskrit, Member of the Prussian Academy of Sciences
