Most of them are luxury cars.

According to the Latvian law on road traffic, from November 1, 2024, the presence of cars with Belarusian number plates on the territory of Latvia is illegal.

According to the Latvian Road Traffic Safety Directorate (CSDD), 45 passenger cars, previously travelling on Belarusian plates, have been re-registered in this country since the beginning of the year.

Most of them are luxury cars, such as Tesla, BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Jaguar. However, the CSDD recognises the pace as slow.

Since August, 17 vehicles from Belarus have been re-registered.

According to the local law on road traffic, it's illegal to have cars with Belarusian plates on the territory of Latvia from November 1. Their owners had to either re-register the vehicle or leave the country before that date.
