This image is not a license plate: it must not be fitted to a vehicle and does not mean the combination is available.
How to read the plate
An Algerian plate has three groups of digits: the serial number (up to five digits), then three digits — the vehicle category and the last two digits of the year of manufacture — and finally the two-digit wilaya code. In 56789 120 34, the 1 means a passenger car, 20 the year 2020 and 34 the wilaya of Bordj Bou Arréridj. The wilaya code is the place of first registration and does not change when the owner moves.
