A personalized vehicle registration mark shall consist of not more than eight letters (except letters "I", "O" and "Q"); not more than eight numerals; or any combination of letters (except letters "I", "O" and "Q") and numerals the total of which shall not exceed eight. The applications for and allocation of personalized vehicle registration mark are subject to Regulations 12A – 12R of the Road Traffic (Registration and Licensing of Vehicles) Regulations, Cap. 374 Sub.
