Works for EA, EB etc series except Exxxx

I think E1111E is a valid number

you are right in that E1111 will result in E. i'll verify this rego later in the morning when the road tax info becomes available. as a temporary remedy, you can use EH in place of E, cos they have the same suffix class.

thanks for the feedback. Very Happy

haha. to add in the recipe a bit....

SBx = QBx = FBx = GBx i.e.
SBA = QBA = FBA = GBA .....
SBB = QBB = FBB = GBB .....

i did not add in 'A' prefix for motorcycles though...

the suffix is derived like this:
1. 26 alphabets, remove 7 confusing letters i.e. F, I, N, O, Q, V, W.
2. reverse order i.e. ZYXUTSRPMLKJHGEDCBA
3. take alternate i.e. ZXTRMKHECAYUSPLJGDB

there u have the 19-letter key to the suffix cycle.

SBA1T
SBA2R
SBA3M
SBA4K
SBA5H
SBA6E
SBA7C
SBA8A
SBA9Y
SBA10S
SBA11P
SBA12L
SBA13J
SBA14G
SBA15D
SBA16B
SBA17Z
SBA18X
SBA19T
SBA20M
.......

to count from 1 to 9999 is too long winded... there is a short mathematical method.... forming the 19-cycle with the first alphabet being the first suffix i.e. for SBA, it's "TRMKHECAYUSPLJGDBZX"

nth letter in a/m cycle = (12 x thousands) + (11 x hundreds) + (2 x tens) + (1 x ones)

to cut a long story short lah....

yeah. MID uses a 9-alphabet cycle for its suffix (yes, every MID vehicle has a suffix, but not meaningful), but the method is the same. tat's all i can from my observation, later intrude into classified info... haha.

just curious.. what does that last character so special and why need special assignment? what advantage does it have over sequencially assigned?

The thing in Green IS in fact how this username originated.

so that ppl cannot anyhow derive the suffix? it's a bit like the suffix for ur i/c number, which is much much easier (11-alphabet cycle, A to J and Z).

2. reverse order i.e. ZYXUTSRPMLKJHGEDCBA
3. take alternate i.e. ZXTRMKHECAYUSPLJGDB

ohhh...

then the confusing letters?

actually I found out this cycle myself at first by noting all the TIB suffixes (SMRT buses), wrote them down on paper...and found out the order...I remember it starting with A...divide it into groups...

AYUS-PLJG-DBZX-TRMK-HEC

then thanks to some really old thread in the Bus forum by ^tamago^ i discovered this order was used for private vehicles, vans etc. as well.

Also after a last-digit 9 number the order skips one letter or something...but this does not apply to a difference in thousands (eg. 999 to 1000)
