The current series of aluminum Nova Scotia licence plates has been made by Waldale since 1989. Plates in late-2011 were updated with narrower dies like those found in Prince Edward Island, Mississippi and many others. They also differ from the 1989+ originals in that they now have clear debossed borders and single sticker box well.
Nova Scotia plates since the early-1990s are issued singly.
Nova Scotia is one of just four remaining Canadian jurisdictions (along with New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Nunavut) still using licence plate renewal date stickers in 2024.
