You are going to have to get a custom plate if you want a number that starts with ‘4’ for a Passenger vehicle. Unfortunately, ICBC has excluded 400-499 series for Passenger plates since the previous 000-AAA format. Reason being in Asian culture, the number ‘4’ represents death. Many brokers had challenges issuing this plate sequence and were stuck with excessive inventory back then. This only applies to Passenger plates though as they are still making Commercial/Truck plates that start with ‘4’.

When Park plates were first released back in 2017, ICBC actually included 400-499 series. However, I haven’t seen any being available for ages so I’m guessing they have excluded that series as well now.

What's the big deal with 888? my wife got an 888 license plate 10+ years ago that ended up getting transferred to my car a couple years back.

Do other Chinamen give a shit about the 4 and 8 as much? Maybe but not to the same extent IME.

The house I was going to buy or did buy and am now selling, the address as 14... if my gf was Cantonese, she'd never have allowed it.

But for Mandarin 14 isn't as bad... not great, but not as bad either (or so she says).

Looks like we're on WT, XK, or XS for normal plates. I'm looking for a Purcell Mtn plate but I don't like the RV sequence. Does anyone have leads on other sequences out there? Thanks!

If anyone is interested in triple A of the new format:

Waypoint New West has A50-0AA to A99-6AA

No triple numbers and a bunch of numbers already picked through but still some doubles left

How long before some Karen complains of A55 --- plates and gets them pulled. Unless ICBC already did that.
