User:40bus/License plates/Czech Republic

Czech license plates have had European standard dimensions since 2005. Each kraj in Czech Republic has multiple unique, two-digit codes that are included at the right end of the license plates in a distinguished square outline. A kraj's license plates will not be issued with a new code unless all possible combinations with the old code have been issued. In Prague, for example, the first code to be issued for the province was code 11, and subsequent codes all increased by 11 as well (meaning codes 11,22,33,...,99 are unique to Prague.) Ever since code 99 was fully issued, the new codes for Prague have started from 10 and subsequently increased by 10. Most kraj codes increased by 10 based on the first code issued for their kraj. However, as codes started getting exhausted, numbers and letters have been assigned more liberally and without following this rule of thumb anymore.

Czech license plates the format ## X ### - NN

• ## ### is the registration code
• X is the series letter. Each unique classification of vehicles is assigned a unique letter. For private vehicles, for example, if numbers start from 01 A 001, the letter A will not change until numbers reach 99 A 999. Then, plates will go up to 01 B 001. These details are explained further in each section of this article.

License plates follow the format ## X ### / NN. The NN portion is a 2-digit code granted to krajs.

Private vehicles

The plate is black on white. The code in the square represents the kraj codes. The letter ب can be dependent on okres where the car's owner's principal address is located. For example, while Regional Code 24 belongs to Hradec Králové kraj, Letter A is dedicated to residents of Hradec Králové okres, while letter B is dedicated to Jicín okres residents. The distribution of the letters has gotten more complicated with codes and letters being filled up, as some letters have been broken down even more, based on the initial 2 numbers on the license plates, and as some letters been given to multiple okreses, who previously had separate letters from each other.

Breakdown of Codes and Letters

Within each kraj, letters are designated to each okres. When each letter is exhausted, a new letter from the same kraj codes is granted. When the entire code is exhausted, the kraj is granted a new code, from which new letters are granted.

Within each kraj, registration numbers for all types of vehicles with the exception of private vehicles, are given kraj-wide, regardless of in which okres the owner resides. Some types of vehicles such as Police cars and Diplomatic plates are allocated nationally, starting from code 11, regardless of the kraj or okres in which they serve.
