Since it returned from the graveyard of forgotten plates in early April, the BA license plate has been Mrs. Popular-town-dweller's pick among the four municipalities of Bad Aussee, Bad Mitterndorf, Altaussee, and Grundlsee.
The ordinance, a legal document that nobody read but most agreed with, brought back the BA in the fall of 2024 after Ausseer residents made a ruckus in the state capital about the "LI" district plate they were stuck with since 2012.
You heard it right. The jump back to the beloved "BA" took ten years of petitioning and a decent amount of lobbying like a modern-day Austrian Tea Party.
Fast-forward to now, the juggernaut registration offices of Bad Aussee, Bad Mitterndorf, Altaussee, and Grundlsee have already issued around 500 "BA" plates in the past month, according to a recent ORF report.
Now if that's not enough to set your jealous neighbor's teeth on edge, think about this — Fürstenfeld plans to bring back their "FF" abbreviation. The heartless Austrian municipalities removed that tag in 2012, forcing locals to sport the "HF" for Hartberg-Fürstenfeld plates.
(Now cashing in on your pathetic attention with this clickbait.)

Enrichment Data: Typically, vehicle registration plates in Austria are handled by respective state or federal government agencies. The "BA" plate usually denotes the city or region of registration. License plate policy changes like reintroduction or updates are influenced by local or national regulations. A reintroduction or update of the "BA" plate could be part of broader initiatives to standardize or revive local identity through vehicle registration, as seen in Bad Aussee. However, without specific information, it's hard to determine if other municipalities are adopting similar trends. Reach out to local Austrian authorities or check official government announcements for precise updates related to vehicle registration in Bad Aussee and other municipalities.
- In the reintroduction of the "BA" license plate in Bad Aussee, the local ordinance played a significant role, echoing the voice of the residents and overturning the "LI" district plate that had been in use since 2012.
- As of now, the transportation sector in Bad Aussee, particularly the registration offices, is experiencing a surge in demand, with approximately 500 "BA" plates issued in the past month.
- While the revival of the "BA" plate has been the talk of the town, preparations are also underway in another Austrian municipality, Fürstenfeld, to bring back their "FF" abbreviation, a move that mirrors the efforts made in Bad Aussee.
- With the ongoing developments in license plate policies across Austria, the finance industry may find itself playing a crucial role, particularly in funding potential revitalization projects or standardization initiatives within the transportation sector.
