License Plate Collector Associations in the World

Most collectors join ALPCA and/or Europlate. ALPCA is the largest association, with thousands of collectors, mostly American and interested in North American plates. Europlate has a few hundreds members in the world, interested in collecting plates and understanding World registration rules.

In different locations, smaller clubs are created, such as De Nummerplaat, NILPS, and of course us, … to allow meetings and trades between collectors, in the USA, Belgium, Germany, France and Australia for instance.

Finally, the Internet is an easy way to directly communicate with other collectors, through Facebook groups, Forums (the FDPI in France), or to buy plates through on-line auctions (ebay.com).
