How to read the plate

Region name
The region is written on the plate as a word — a state or province.
Series and number
Letters and digits — the registration itself.
County
The first characters are the code of the county where the car is registered: The county where the car is registered is shown separately on the plate:

A Bangladeshi plate is written in Bengali on two lines. The top line gives the district (zila) — or, for big cities, the city plus মেট্রো (metro) — and, after a hyphen, the vehicle class letter: ঢাকা মেট্রো-গ is Dhaka Metro, class “ga”. The bottom line has two digits and the four-digit number: ৩১-৯৯৫৭. The region is simply the first word on the plate.

History

The “district – class – number” format predates today's plates: since 2012 BRTA has issued retro-reflective digital-pattern plates. Earlier plates were often hand-painted, and private cars had white characters on black.
