Vehicle registration plates of New Brunswick

The Canadian province of New Brunswick first required its residents to register their motor vehicles and display licence plates in 1905.

In Canada, only the Province of Ontario and the City of Montreal required registrations before New Brunswick. The vehicle owner supplied his own licence plates until 1910. Starting in 1911, the Province supplied the plates.

Passenger plates 1945 to present

In 1956, the U.S. states and Canadian provinces came to an agreement with the Automobile Manufacturers Association that fixed the size for licence plates for vehicles, except those for motorcycles, at six inches in height by twelve inches in width, with standardized mounting holes. The 1955 (dated 1956) issue was the province's first licence plate that complied with these standards.
