No have not heard about it on the Greek side but guessing as we now have to have white rear plates & they do already on the other side maybe it is illegal to drive with yellow?

As I heard it, the GCs are peeved about the new white number plates as they do not comply with the reg's agreed when the crossings opened. They look too much like GC plates.

Concerning the law in the ROC:

"The new law on vehicle registration plates came into force on the 3rd June 2013.

It requires that NEW motor vehicles registered on or after that date will have to fit the new style plates. Those fitted to cars will be white front and rear and conform to strict guidelines regarding size, font etc. The month and year of first registration in Cyprus is included on the plate.

Those plates that are already fitted to vehicles do not have to be changed unless they need replacing through loss or damage or the owner wishes too.



In the TRNC, the current legislation is for cars registered before 1 June 2017 to have plastic number plates which must be White at the front and Yellow at the rear. These vehicles have until 2027 to fit the new plates (see below).
If the car was registered after 1 June 2017 or if a plate is replaced due to damage or missing both plates must be metal and white with a blue left hand margin embossed with the number of the licensed plate provider.
Fitting all white plastic plates is not legal.

Metal? That's what you really need in accident a thin sliver of metal sheeting flying about decapitating passers by.... only the TRNC could make up a stupid regulation like this....
