Yes, you can choose an emoji for your vehicle license plates. Provided you immigrate to Australia and settle in the State of Queensland.

From March 1, State boarders can choose from one of the five emojis posted on its website by Personalized Plates Queensland (PPQ): the laughter-emoji emoji that closes the eye ”, the emoji“ with the cool sunglasses ”, the emoji“ with hearts in the eyes ”and the emoji“ smiling ”.

Only one, as the new license plates will have to combine the three letters and two numbers required by law. The emoji will come last.

The initiative was welcomed by the Royal Automobile Club of Queensland (RACQ), with its representative, Dr. Rebecca Michael states - according to the Seven Network - that "you can support your favorite team or your favorite city with a symbol on your license plate, and using an emoji is no different".

Of course, there was no shortage of criticism. Bill Pots, president of the Queensland Law Society, told the Brisbane Times: "The purpose of license plates is for police to be able to identify a vehicle.

How do you write (in your report) an emoji after a car accident? ”. PPQ itself gave an answer, clarifying that the emoji on the sign are only decorative and are not part of the registration number.
