The Canadian province of Manitoba first required its residents to register their motor vehicles and display licence plates in 1911.
Passenger plates 1911 to present
In 1956, the U.S. states and Canadian provinces came to an agreement with the Automobile Manufacturers Association that fixed the size for licence plates for vehicles, except those for motorcycles, at six inches in height by twelve inches in width, with standardized mounting holes. The 1955 (dated 1956) issue was the province's first licence plate that complied with these standards.
Manitoba is one of three provinces where decals are not used to show that the vehicle has valid registration, the others being Saskatchewan and Quebec.
