But see, isn't this true everywhere?
I said that for Belgium.
For US I do not know.
For UK plates give year of the car: even if you register a car later you get a plate of its year, and not of the current year.
Also, is it possible to get vanity plates in other countries than the US?
Yes, but again rules are different from one country to another.
In Belgium you must keep the official format of 3 letters + 3 numbers, and then by paying 620 € you can chose the contents.
For example the plate "XXL-911" is registered to a Porsche Cayenne
Or this DeLorean:
If you pay 874 € you can chose any combination from the 5-digit plates (still respecting the amount of letters/numbers which existed, so 1 or 2 letters only and 4 or 3 digits).
