Car Prefix (Identification Marks) For Cars Registered In Singapore
LTA reference data on car registration prefix identification marks used for vehicles registered in Singapore. The CSV dataset spans prefixes from August 1972 through January 2018, helping historians and insurers decode plate series by issuance period. Collectors and transport enthusiasts use it to understand how the Vehicle Registration Number system evolved. The ad-hoc release documents administrative coding rather than live registration volumes. It is a niche but authoritative LTA open-data glossary for car plate prefixes.
