List of License Plates from Territories in Oceania

In addition to sovereign countries, Oceania has numerous territories dependent on other states. Each of these territories features different types of license plates, mainly with unique characteristics and designs. Colors and configurations also vary in the license plates from Oceania. Many sovereign states from around the world have territories here, either under full or partial administration, or even in colonial status. Examples include the United States, France, the United Kingdom, and Australia. Some of these territories do not have a permanent population, so no current vehicle registrations exist, or if vehicles do exist, plates are very rare. For instance, on the Pitcairn Islands, under British control, there are no license plates even though there are a few vehicles. Below, you'll find a list of all territories and an example plate so you can see where each vehicle originates.
