Russian Mining Community license plates
Vehicles of the Russian mining community on Svalbard were not required to comply with Norwegian vehicle registrations and vehicles were either unregistered or carried a plate from Pyramiden (shown here) or Barentsburg.
In 1998, the Russian mining community at Pyramiden closed and since 2008 vehicles carry regular Norwegian Svalbard plates.
