== History ==
== History ==
Brilliania was the first nation to issue vehicle registration plates, starting in 1888 with a simple serial number of up to 4 digits on a white on black plate, which were affixed to the rear of horse carriages. The King owned the number 1 plate on his personal horse carriage. When the first car was introduced in 1902, front plates became mandatory except for horse carriages. Between 1905 and 1920, vehicle registration plates were issued every 2 years, continuing the all-numeric format. Starting in 1920, the format changed to a leter indicating the province and up to 5 serial numbers starting at 10000, although prior to the end of the system in 1982 most provinces added a serial letter after the provincial letter. License plates were provided by the owner, mostly done either by authorized private stores or by the police. Exceptionally, the letter Á was issued as a serial letter in Iparina. Motorcycles required front plates and rear plates.

Since 2010, reregistrations of imported pre-1982 vehicles are allowed and use the old provincial coding system with the serial letter Z.  
===1920 system===
Starting in 1920, the registrations changed so that the registration is not based on the owner but on the vehicle. These new registrations did not require replacement every 2 years, and were permanent. The registration format was changed as well to include letters as well as numerals, consisting of a letter for the province, a serial letter, followed by five numerals split after the second numeral by a hyphen. The first two numerals indicate the vehicle type.

The creation of the actual plate was the responsibility of the owner - most often the owner purchased the license plates at a shop or had it made at the car dealer. There were considerable variations in design and material, although nearly all registrations were made of steel. An owner was allowed to replace the license plates if excessive tear and wear was visible.  
Since 1965, the registration plate design were standardised by the government, which introduced a standard font and size.
All vehicles except trailers and sidecars required two registration plates. Agricultural vehicles were registered in the regular system but with the serial letter N (nekaszarica; agriculture).
Trailers and sidecars were not registered seperately, but they carried the registration of the towing vehicle.
===1982 system===
The new system, in which provinces got serial blocks instead of a single letter, was introduced in 1982. The colours of the plate were also changed to black on white.  The letters C, I, O and U were originally used, but were discontinued in 1984.


== Regular format ==
== Regular format ==
The format for regular vehicles consists of 2 or 3 letters, followed by a dash and 2 sets of 2 numerals separated by a dash. The first letter indicates the province of registration and the second and third letters are serial. The letters C, I, O, Q, U and W are never used because of legibility issues, and the letters A, E, M and Y are not used as second letters, to prevent the formation of words considered inappropriate.  
The format for regular vehicles consists of 3 letters, followed by 4 numerals. The first letter indicates the province of registration and the second and third letters are serial. The letters C, I, M, O, Q, U, W, and X are never used, and the letters A, E, and Y are never used as the second letter. License plates with low or repeating serial numbers are not sold, and license plates are not reissued.
=== Provinces ===  
=== Provinces ===  
In the 1982 system, each provincial authority received a serial allocation for the registration of vehicles.
Since the introduction of the 1920 registration format, the registration also shows the province in which a vehicle is registered in. Prior to the introduction of the 1982 system, the provincial code always was the first letter of the province name. In the 1982 system, the provinces have been allocated blocks of serial letters.

A scandal erupted in 2019 after independent investigation by the centrist news site Brillian Bulletin discovered multiple incidences of vehicle registration fraud by parliamentarians.

There are two types of temporary license plates in Brilliania.
The first type are used by car dealers for test drives and the transportation of vehicles which are unregistered or deregistered. These plates do not feature the blue band to the left, as these are not allowed to cross foreign borders. The serial format consists of one letter indicating the province, a dash, three numerals, a dash, and a serial letter. Instead of a blue band, the text PROBAN above VÍSZGARA is visible on the left-hand side, before the registration.


The second type is used for vehicles with lost registration papers, vehicles awaiting inspection, vehicles being exported and vehicles awaiting a remake of their registration plates. The serial format consists of 1 letter indicating the province, a dash, and two sets of two numerals separated by a dash. These are either visible as owner-provided aluminium plates or printed laminated paper plates. In the latter case, the IELEZN website provides for a standard design for these paper plates which is downloadable. Some temporary license plates feature sentences such as "I am awaiting new license plates", "My license plate fell off", "I have lost my documentation"  or "I have asked the government for a registration". Export license plates are officially made and feature a date band on the right side with two numbers denoting the month above two numbers denoting the year the registration expired. Because there are 9,999 (Saranegertu, which solely has the letter S allocated) to 39,996 (Kostegaba, Iparina, Junguite and Otzaurte provinces, each having 4 letters allocated) registrations posible, these numbers are allowed to be reissued.
== Vanity plates ==
=== Historical vehicles ===
Since 2000, the IELEZN has allowed the issuance of customized license plates, which may at most have seven characters, of which at least one must be a numeral. The letters I, O, and Q are not allowed. An applicant must pay 30.000 [[Brillian Florrin|Fl]] for the right to use the registration on their vehicle for 3 years. There are restrictions on the meaning of the registration: it may not cause offense or contain abbreviations of political parties. Vanity plates are often known as "arrogance plates" (matrikulak harropuc).
Vehicles produced prior to 1982 are allowed to have white on black plates in a style similar to pre-1982 license plates. These use a serial format of a letter indicating the province from the old registration format, a serial letter starting at Z and progressing in reverse order, and a serial number starting at 10000.
Saranegertu province did not exist prior to 1996, but it has issued the registrations SZ 10000 to SZ 10392 to vehicles at the Saranegertu Museum of Transport, although the museum uses vehicle test plates for the outside display of vehicles.

History

Brilliania was the first nation to issue vehicle registration plates, starting in 1888 with a simple serial number of up to 5 digits on a white on black plate, which were affixed to the rear of horse carriages. The King owned the number 1 plate on his personal horse carriage. When the first car was introduced in 1902, front plates became mandatory on all vehicles except for horse carriages. Between 1905 and 1920, vehicle registration plates were issued every 2 years, continuing the all-numeric format.

1920 system

Starting in 1920, the registrations changed so that the registration is not based on the owner but on the vehicle. These new registrations did not require replacement every 2 years, and were permanent. The registration format was changed as well to include letters as well as numerals, consisting of a letter for the province, a serial letter, followed by five numerals split after the second numeral by a hyphen. The first two numerals indicate the vehicle type.

Allocation Meaning
01 - 70 Private vehicles
71 - 98 Commercial vehicles
99 Foreigners - including diplomats.

The creation of the actual plate was the responsibility of the owner - most often the owner purchased the license plates at a shop or had it made at the car dealer. There were considerable variations in design and material, although nearly all registrations were made of steel. An owner was allowed to replace the license plates if excessive tear and wear was visible. Since 1965, the registration plate design were standardised by the government, which introduced a standard font and size. All vehicles except trailers and sidecars required two registration plates. Agricultural vehicles were registered in the regular system but with the serial letter N (nekaszarica; agriculture). Trailers and sidecars were not registered seperately, but they carried the registration of the towing vehicle.

1982 system

The new system, in which provinces got serial blocks instead of a single letter, was introduced in 1982. The colours of the plate were also changed to black on white. The letters C, I, O and U were originally used, but were discontinued in 1984.

Regular format

The format for regular vehicles consists of 3 letters, followed by 4 numerals. The first letter indicates the province of registration and the second and third letters are serial. The letters C, I, M, O, Q, U, W, and X are never used, and the letters A, E, and Y are never used as the second letter. License plates with low or repeating serial numbers are not sold, and license plates are not reissued.

Provinces

Since the introduction of the 1920 registration format, the registration also shows the province in which a vehicle is registered in. Prior to the introduction of the 1982 system, the provincial code always was the first letter of the province name. In the 1982 system, the provinces have been allocated blocks of serial letters.

Slurs and offensive terms

The IELEZN has a list of combinations which are considered to be offensive or controversial. These include terms which could be interpreted as offensive, initials of well-known individuals and abbreviations of political parties with parliamentary representation.

Sizes and colours

All license plates use reflective backgrounds; this has been mandatory since 1967.

Regular vehicles

Regular license plates either measure 50x10 cm, or 25x20 cm for two line plates. It is possible but extremely rare that cars carry rear license plates in the same size used for motorcycles: these are only seen on imported vehicles if a regular license plate does not fit.

Motorcycles and mopeds

Motorcycles require front and rear plates; the front plate being 24x8 cm and the two-line rear plate 15x20 cm. Moped rear license plates are 15x10 cm, with the serial on three lines. The front plates are the same as these used for motorcycles. There are two variants of motorcycle front plates; a sticker plate or an embossed aluminium plate. Some motorcycles and mopeds do not carry front plates and some mopeds use motorcycle plates.

Colours

There are several different background colours which are used on Brillian vehicle registration plates.

Colours Usage
Black on white Denotes cars, motorcycles or mopeds used privately or commercially.
White on black Denotes cars, motorcycles or mopeds used privately or by an organization of classic vehicle enthousiasts, produced at least 30 years ago. These vehicles use registrations from the current series.
Black on green Denotes cars, motorcycles or mopeds used privately or commercially, not weighing above 25 tonnes and being powered electrically. These were introduced in 2019 and became mandatory soon afterwards after a spate of car crashes with electric vehicles.
Black on red Red registrations are used on trailers, which also display a third plate of the towing vehicle.

Trailers

Trailers above 750 kg generally carry two license plates. The trailer itself is registered in the regular series on plain red on white plates. The registration of the towing vehicle must also be displayed. For small trailers, only the registration of the towing vehicle must be displayed.

Insurance plates

A special insurance series is issued for handicapped transport vehicles, invalid carriages and small electric scooters with a speed below 20 km/h. Until 2006, the upper limit was 50 km/h and mopeds were included in this series. Since 2016, these license plates have been stickers applied to the rear of the vehicle. Prior to 2016, these were small embossed aluminium plates issued in annually varying colours. Both formats have the same size, 6x6 cm. The format consists of three numbers above three letters. These are issued by insurance companies in each province and the serial are issued randomly from a central pool - not serial like regular registrations. Only the letters B, D, F, G, H, J, K, L, N, P, R, S, T, X and Z are used, with the letters B, D, and F being reserved as first letters for small electric vehicles.

Special registrations

All special license plates use registrations consisting of two letters indicating the type followed by five serial numbers including lead zeroes. The symbols are smaller than usual and the letters are slightly smaller than the numerals.
