Amateur Radio Operator's Vehicle
ChangeHolders of an Amateur Radio Operator Certificate can obtain a special licence plate for their vehicle. Instead of a regular licence plate number, these plates start with the operator's call sign, i.e. VE2 or VA2.
The amateur radio operator licence plate is reserved for individuals who hold an Amateur Radio Operator Certificate issued by Industry Canada.
Amateur radio operator licence plates alert police forces that the vehicle is equipped with an amateur radio apparatus, which means that the owner could assist them if necessary.
An amateur radio operator licence plate cannot be transferred—even if the vehicle is given to someone else—because the plate belongs to the holder of an amateur radio operator's licence.
