The launch is tied to Malaysia Day 2026. The bidding window runs from September 16 to September 20, ahead of the national holiday.

The series is branded around the Malaysia Day celebration.

Impact on Malaysian motorists

Motorists who want an 'H' plate number must bid between September 16 and 20. The series spans H 1 to H 9999, giving bidders a wide range of numbers.

Winning bidders can register the number under the special series.
