Which country was the first to introduce vehicle registration plates?

TabbyTom

The first motor vehicle registration plates were introduced in the Department of the Seine, France, by a police ordinance of August 14, 1893. The scheme was extended to the whole of France by a decree of September 30,1901, which applied to all vehicles capable of exceeding 30 kilometres per hour (about 19 mph). By that time registration plates were already mandatory throughout Belgium. (New Shell Book of Firsts) Dec 10 03, 5:04 AM
