Vehicle registration plates of Spain

In Spain, since 2001, giving the newly issued license plate no more information on the origin of the vehicle. In the previously issued license plate, which are partly still in use, called the first or the first two letters of the registration plate, the province in which the vehicle was first registered ( eg A 5678 FG for a vehicle from Alicante [because of the first letter A] ). These were, as is the case with the current indicator bound vehicle.

Current Designation System

Since 2001, the license plate will be awarded centrally, the regional origin of the particular vehicle is no longer recognizable. The new license plate consisting of four digits followed by three letters, for example, in 2233 CXD. The plates carry a black lettering on a white background with the state seal as a small pattern in light gray. On the left side there is a blue band with the letter E for España and the European stars. Even the old license plate can be fitted on request of the holder with the European locale. Occasionally, vehicles or CAT ARA instead of E on the plate in order to demonstrate membership in Catalonia and Aragon to. The identifier is attached by means of stickers, and is illegal.

A vehicle always keeps in Spain by keeper change his character, even if it is sold in other provinces. The codes are assigned once, ie in case of cancellation of a vehicle whose number is never used again elsewhere. The labels are also assigned in ascending order ( 2233 CXD CXD follows in 2234, etc.). So can be the basis of the license plate on the one hand, the approximate age of the first registration of a vehicle in Spain determine, on the other hand, the usability of the system is thus but limited in time. This was one of the reasons for the abolition of the old system, as in provinces with particularly strong approval numbers (Barcelona and Madrid), the possible combinations were exhausted. It had originally intended to allow three final letters in the characteristics of these two provinces. So should follow M 9999 ZZ in the province of Madrid is characterized M 0000BBB.
