Barbadian Vehicle registration plates consist of letters and numbers.

The Barbados Licensing Authority issues licence plates to all new motor vehicle owners.

Each licence plate has one or two letters which represents the part of the island which the vehicle's owner resides or previously resided at the time the vehicle was registered.

So for example, a person whose licence plate is L999 lives in St. Lucy and has registered his or her vehicle in that parish.

As of November 2008, Barbados had approximately 126,361 registered vehicles on the roads.
