Duplicate code series
When you lose your plate, or it got stolen or you lose your registration documents you have to get a new set of plates.
The registration stays the same, and you get a duplicate code on the plate. A small "1" above the first hyphen.
When you lose you plate again, you get a duplicate code "2" etc. When you've lost your plates 10 times, there will be a "1" above
the first hyphen and a "0" above the second hyphen. But I haven't seen those yet. Highest duplicate code I've seen is "5".
This duplicate code will also be printed in your registration documents, so it takes a while before everything is ready
again.

Duplicate codes on trailer plates
Duplicate code on the wrong side. Should be left not right.
This plate has a sticker duplicate 1. So not a stamped one, looks fake to me!
The 1 is too long, too thin and out of the middle...nice try.

Month plates
During this period of making new plates with duplicate code, you get black on white plates with on the left side of the plate a little month indicator.
01=January etc. These plates are valid for one month and have the original registration of your car. When the yellow
plates are remade with duplicate code (see above), you have to hand in the temporary white ones again.
