Nunavut License Plates

Debuted summer 2025.

This Nunavut passenger licence plate replaced the original circa-1999 polar bear design starting in July 2012 and was issued until 2025. These were Canada's first modern type flat plates and featured a graphic background with polar bear, an inukshuk, and the northern lights. These Nunavut licence plates used the same 3M font as US jurisdictions such as Minnesota and South Carolina.

For the first-issued passenger plate, see this blog post.

This was the 2012-25 version of previous red/orange/white ATV/quad/snowmobile bear-shaped plate.

Original 1999 bear base Government series high is G6113N.

Used on taxis.

This was the first-ever Nunavut passenger series starting in 1999 at 10000N. John Hayes observed low 10004N. Replaced with the flat base in 2012.

Andrew Osborne reported C5541N was issued on 2004-04-03, suggesting inventory boxes were opened in reverse order (last in, first out). This also happened with other types, making logical highs tracking very difficult.

This original version of the Nunavut motorcycle licence plate was issued from 1999-2012.

This original version of the Nunavut ATV licence plate was issued from 1999-2012.

As with some other classes, these Trailer plates were issued in a somewhat random order due to boxes being opened out of sequence For example, plate T1760N was issued on Aug 19, 2010, two and half years after the 2008 high of T1773N.
