Public service vehicles (PSVs), cargo trucks, ambulance and funeral hearse vehicles, diplomatic cars, tractors, and heavy machinery vehicles DO NOT qualify. Those that will contravene to these regulation with inappropriate number plates will be fined KES 500, 000.

Only a maximum of 7 characters in capital letters, embossed in blue with a reflective white background on the front and rear plates will be allowed, although the registrar says but the registrar will have to approve your license plate after scrutiny to wad off politically connotative words and vulgar.
