Questions
What year is an SLC car plate?
The SLC series first opened for bidding in March 2016. It was the newest series for 1 month, until SLD in April 2016. So a car with an SLC plate was registered in March 2016 or later: a number can be bid for after its series opens, or kept from an older car, so the car can be newer than its plate, never older.
How old is a car with an SLC plate?
No older than 10 years and 8 months (in November 2026), counted from March 2016, when the series first opened for bidding. It can be younger: the plate only says when the number came out.
When does an SLC carโs COE end?
A COE lasts 10 years from registration, so a car registered in March 2016, when the series first opened for bidding, had its first COE run to about March 2026; one registered later, later still. So an SLC car still on the road has had its COE renewed for 5 or 10 more years at the Prevailing Quota Premium: see the latest COE prices and PQP, and the PARF and COE rebates for scrapping it.
What comes after SLC?
SLD, which first opened for bidding in April 2016, then SLE in May 2016. Before SLC came SLB (February 2016).
What letter does SLC 1234 end in?
SLC 1234 C. The last letter is a checksum worked out from the prefix and the number: SLC 1 P, SLC 88 P, SLC 8888 U. Check any SLC plate.
