German term or phrase: ungestempeltern Kennzeichen

unvalidated licence plates
Explanation:
It can only be: ungestempelte Kennzeichen. May be there is a spelling mistake; it means simly unstamped licence plates. In Germany there are stamp stickers used for this purpose. They validate a plate. They are stuck on top of the licence plate. Maybe, you could also say: Licence plates without stickers.

Thanks to both answerers. In the end I chose this one because the document was referring only to German insurance conditions. I put a note about trade plates though.

agree  Gareth McMillan: The system in DE is totally different and inique. There is no exact translation here, but this is probably as close as you're going to get to one. IMHO.

  -> Thanks Gareth. You're right I should have pointed out that it's not a translation as such, but will tell people what it means. Claire, please bear in mind if it's target U.S.A.
