Vehicle registration plates of Barbados
- Vehicle registration plates of Barbados
The Barbadian Vehicle registration plates consist of letters and numbers. The first part consists of letters which determine the part of the island the registration is from, or
Barbadian vehicle registration plates start with a group of one or two letters. These indicate the parish of registration, or category of vehicle:
The breakdown is as follows. 'X' represents Jesus Christ and therefore 'X' is chosen. Other parishes are by their first names: Saint John has 'J', so Saint Joseph therefore moved on to the next letter 'O', Saint Andrew became 'A', Saint Michael became 'M', meanwhile Saint Philip became 'P', so Saint Peter became 'E', Saint James having all other letters taken became known as the last letter of their name "S". All of the remaining parishes were then able to be represented as the first letter of their name.
