Vehicle registration plates of the British Overseas Territories

Some of the British overseas territories, including Gibraltar and the Falkland Islands, use number plates similar to those of the UK, with the same colours and typeface.

Some former British colonies which adopted British style number plates have continued with those customs, notable examples are Brunei, Cyprus, Guyana, Hong Kong, Kenya, Malaysia, Singapore, Trinidad and Tobago and Tanzania.

Military vehicles use the letters 'RN' preceded and followed by two digits, while the Governor's official car displays a silver crown on a black plate.

They are now North American standard sized and have a blue and white background with black letters.

In the British Virgin Islands private vehicles have 'PV' followed by four digits, 'VI' was used as the prefix for one year 1995–96; before 1995 only numbers were used.

Most plates have 'Cayman Islands' written beneath the numbers and are North American standard 6 × 12 inches (152 × 300 mm).

[7] In 2003, quincentennial plates (known as Q-plates) were issued; they had four blue numbers following a 'Q' on a background depicting a picturesque Cayman scene with celebratory logos.

[8] Different colours are used for private (red), commercial (green), government (black) and hire (yellow) cars.

Montserrat plates start with a letter indicating the type of car ('R' for rental, 'M' for private, etc.

[citation needed] The style mirrors that of Cyprus, the colour of the rear plate changing from yellow to white in 2013.
