Questions
What year is an SNR car plate?
The SNR series first opened for bidding in March 2024. It was the newest series for 2 months, until SNS in May 2024. So a car with an SNR plate was registered in March 2024 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 SNR plate?
No older than 2 years and 8 months (in November 2026), counted from March 2024, when the series first opened for bidding. It can be younger: the plate only says when the number came out.
When does an SNR car’s COE end?
A COE lasts 10 years from registration, so a car registered in March 2024, when the series first opened for bidding, has its first COE running to about March 2034; one registered later, later still. After that it’s deregistered, or 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 SNR?
SNS, which first opened for bidding in May 2024, then SNT in July 2024. Before SNR came SNQ (January 2024).
What letter does SNR 1234 end in?
SNR 1234 A. The last letter is a checksum worked out from the prefix and the number: SNR 1 L, SNR 88 L, SNR 8888 S. Check any SNR plate.
