Vehicle registration plates of Russia

Russian license plates of the current series are usually white with black lettering, usually with a letter, three digits followed by two letters, followed by a separate field whose numerical data provides information on the origin of the vehicle.

Construction of the indicator

The marks are overwhelmingly of one line in the size of most European number plates. Under certain circumstances, they can also be double-spaced, if this better suits the characteristics of the vehicle. This is especially true for motorcycles and special groups of vehicles such as tractors. Only one-line plates are used for cars. The license plates are made up of two fields. The left field contains the identification number of the vehicle, and the right panel shows the number of the Federation subject, in which the vehicle was registered, and including the English nationality abbreviation " RUS " with the flag of the Russian Federation. If the motorcycle is omitted for reasons of space on the flag.

The number that represents the subject is, two - or three-digit meanwhile. The subjects were sorted according to your status, numbered in alphabetical order. In most cases corresponds to the number of the management number of the subject. By changing the management structure as a result of mergers, but differences may occur.

The identification number consists of vehicles of a letter, then a three digit number and then again two letters together. Supporters have two letters followed by a four digit number. Motorcycles have in the first line of a four-digit number and the second line left two letters and the right, the field of the subject number. Only letters are used to facilitate international traffic, which occur in both the Cyrillic and the Latin alphabet, which are the following 12 characters:

А, В ( = W), Е ( = JE), К, М, Н (= N), О, Р ( = R), С (= S), Т, У ( = U), Х ( = CH ).

This leads to the problem that the number is limited to the possible number combinations. Only about 1.7 million car number plates can be assigned to each number space of a subject. This follows from the following equation:

12 possible letters × 1,000 ( three-digit number, also 000 ) × 12 possible letters × 12 possible letters = 1,728,000

Since 2004/2005 also marks with two - and three-digit number will therefore be subject in subjects whose number space was no longer sufficient output. First was the case in Moscow ( first " 77 " then " 99 ", " 97 " and now also " 177 ", " 199 ", " 197 " and " 777" ). Due to the increasing number needs it is intended to spend some modified plate with four instead of three digits.

Special license plates

For certain categories of vehicles distinguishing marks will be issued, which differ especially by the color, but also by the characteristics of structure.

For government vehicles until recently number plates were issued, showing the place of the subject number the Russian flag enlarged. Usually, the identification of these numbers began with "A". Vehicles with these numbers have a special status and can be controlled by only restricted by the police. This led to frequent abuse of these numbers and, consequently, to some serious accidents, apart from frequent severe risks of traffic due to high speed and risky maneuvers. There were confiscated almost all of these characteristics in 2006. Only vehicles belonging directly to the fleet of the president or the prime minister, have such marks. Instead, were in Moscow hallmark of various series such as A ( ... ) MP, E ( ... ) KX, M ( ... ) MM or H ( ... ) HH issued, where E (...) distributed KX- mark is applied only to high-ranking employee of the FSB and FSO be about and enjoy the same status as the former government license plates.

Yellow number plates have been assigned to about the year 2000 to foreigners and company cars foreign joint ventures. This partly led to discrimination against drivers by the police, who had an opportunity to raise unjustified penalties. Now they characterize commercial vehicles for public transport, ie buses, taxis and route taxis. The identification number consists of two letters and three digits.

Blue marked license plates are used by police, and in their civilian vehicles.

Black number plates with white letters identify vehicles of the military and the Interior Ministry.

Red number plates with white letters stand diplomatic vehicles. The first three digits identify the country of origin, followed by the Latin letters "CD ", "D " or "T " for the status of diplomats. It concludes with a differentiating one-to three -digit number and the field with the subject number and nationality symbol " RUS " with no flag. "CD" indicator will be awarded to heads of diplomatic missions. This is often erroneously called " corps diplomatique " interpreted in Russian documents the flag is, however, defined as " Chef de Mission ". It happens that several "CD" indicator will be issued per mission. That was the message of the United Kingdom has two such markers: 001 CD1 and CD2 001.

With "D" marked vehicles of diplomatic missions of other employees assigned, regardless of whether these members of the " Corps Diplomatique " or not. The status " T", originally defined as "trade " for the trade missions, is now regarded mainly technical staff. Thus, for example, all teachers seconded the German School Moscow a "T" mark.

White - yellow number plates are for vehicles that are transferred between buying and selling. They show two holograms and are made of laminated paper. The appearance corresponds to the color of the right field of the normal label. The laminated number plates broke 2010 from the transit plates. They were made of paper and have been glued to front and rear. In addition to the number of the subject and the identification number they showed the word " ТРАНЗИТ " (transit ) at the beginning.

Historic flag of the USSR

The current system of license plate has been introduced in the years 1993/94, when, after the dissolution of the Soviet Union its own labeling system was necessary. Two types of the USSR are sometimes seen in the streets.

The older system from 1959 to 1981 / 82 is utilized black number plates with white lettering. The label on the front of the vehicle was a single line, the rear two rows. Four digits, two digits separated by a hyphen in front and behind the first line. This reflected in the two-line form three letters, of which the first two of the administrative unit from which came the vehicle, were assigned to the oblast or a ( autonomous) republic. Often the third letter stated the vehicle category: private or state-owned vehicle.

From 1982 to 1993 new mark were issued in the USSR, white plate with black lettering. Private labels with a letter followed by a four digit number and two letters for the administrative area. The other hand, State vehicles had a four digit number, followed by three letters, also in this case the first two for the area of ​​origin.

In all of these cases involved in the letter to those from the Cyrillic alphabet.
