The British Virgin Islands requires its residents to register their motor vehicles and display vehicle registration plates.[1] Many plates have 'Virgin Islands' and 'Nature's Little Secrets' above and below the sequence respectively. Before 1996, European standard 520 mm × 110 mm (20.5 in × 4.3 in) sizes and British stamping dies were used, but current plates are North American standard 12 in × 6 in (300 mm × 152 mm) as used in the US Virgin Islands.[2]
