Plate History

Plate History license plates

1960 - 1984

(A) In 1980, President Augusto Pinochet's government ordered the standardization of color-coded identification for better visibility, but as the nomenclature was about to expire on December 31, 1984, it gave way to the black on white license plate issued by the Civil Registry and Identification Office.
The plates pictured here, were officially issued and circulated as a pilot program to facilitate public visibility. Colors were randomly assigned by commune, city, or town. (2).
