Finnish vehicle registration plates usually carry three letters and three numbers separated with a dash, though vanity plates may carry just one of each. Since 1989 the code has no connection with the geographic location, except that Åland has its own type of plate. Between 1972/1973 and 1989 the first letter indicated where the vehicle was first registered as the plate did not have to be changed even if the vehicle was moved to another area of Finland. ==History== *1917-1922: Right after gaining independence, different licence plates were issued for each city. *1922-1929: The standard plate had a white background, on which a provincial designation and four-digit number was marked. *1930s-40s: Annual plates were issued. Plates for odd-numbered years were white with black markings and plates for even-numbered years were black with white markings. The registration number consisted of a provincial designation, dash and a (maximum) four-digit number. A seal and the last two digits of the current year were marked on the left side of the plate. *1950: Annual plates were no longer issued. The standard registration number consisted of two letters, a dash and a (maximum) three-digit number, embossed in white on a black background. The first letter was the provincial designation. *1960: A white border was added to the plate. The registration number consisted of three letters and one or two numbers. *1972: The current licence plate type was introduced. *1996: The size of the vehicle licence plate was reduced.
