Vehicle registration plates of the Caribbean Netherlands

(Redirected from Vehicle registration plates of Bonaire)

The Caribbean Netherlands requires its residents to register their motor vehicles and display vehicle registration plates.[1] Current plates are North American standard 6 × 12 inches (152 × 300 mm).

Passenger plates

edit

Plates with the large letter "B" indicate a plate from Bonaire, while the large letter "E" indicates a plate from St. Eustatius, and a large letter "S" indicates a plate from Saba. For plates with different letters see the Non-passenger baseplate section below.
