Vehicle registration plates of New Brunswick
The Canadian province of New Brunswick first required its residents to register their motor vehicles in 1905. Registrants provided their own licence plates for display until 1911, when the province began to issue plates.
Passenger baseplates
1911 to 1961
In 1956, Canada, the United States and Mexico came to an agreement with the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators, the Automobile Manufacturers Association and the National Safety Council that standardized the size for licence plates for vehicles (except those for motorcycles) at 6 inches (15 cm) in height by 12 inches (30 cm) in width, with standardized mounting holes.[1] The first New Brunswick licence plate that complied with these standards was issued seven years beforehand, in 1949 (dated 1950).

gollark: Those run on a lot of devices but so does... SDL, Cairo, and whatever else.
gollark: Firefox's... not Gecko, whatever it is now... and Chromium/Blink.
