27. (1)  Every motor vehicle registered in Québec must, during the whole registration year, be provided with one valid registration marker issued by the Régie.

The Government may, by regulation, prescribe that a motor vehicle be provided with two registration markers.

The registration marker must be affixed to the rear of the motor vehicle. Where two registration markers are issued, in conformity with the regulation, one marker must be affixed to the front and the other to the rear of the motor vehicle.

Such markers must be solidly affixed by means of rivets, screws and nuts, or a frame, in such a way that they cannot be easily removed and will not swing when the motor vehicle is in motion. The Régie may determine another mode of affixing the markers of one or other of the categories established under subsection 5.

Every registration marker must be sufficiently lighted and free of any object or matter that could impair its legibility.

Every peace officer or officer of the department entrusted with the carrying out of this Code may, at any time, require the driver of a motor vehicle to immediately clean the registration markers with which his motor vehicle is provided.

A registration marker must be affixed to the rear of every trailer or semi-trailer making up part of a combination of vehicles.

(2)  Every registration marker must bear the inscriptions determined by the Régie and the registration number assigned by the Régie to the motor vehicle concerned.

(3)  No other marker that may be confused in any manner whatsoever with a registration marker may be affixed to the front or to the rear of a motor vehicle; nevertheless, this subsection does not apply where a marker may be required under another law applicable in Québec.

(4)  The Régie remains the owner of every registration marker and may recover possession thereof when the registration of the motor vehicle concerned expires or is suspended or cancelled.

(5)  For the application of the provisions regarding registration, the Régie may establish categories of registration markers based on the types of motor vehicles, on their use, or, in certain cases, on the territory in which they are used.
