How to read the plate

Country code

RCB is the international code of the country of registration.

Region code

Digits at the end of the number.

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:

The Republic of the Congo plate follows the French pattern: three digits, two series letters and at the end the one- or two-digit registration zone code (229 EA 2). For example, 4 is Brazzaville, 6 Pointe-Noire, 5 Kouilou. Zones 1–14 mix departments and towns (Nkayi, Ouesso, Dolisie) and reflect the country's division before 2002. On the left are the CEMAC emblem and the letters RC.

History

The scheme with a zone code at the end has been used since about 1982, and the CEMAC design with the emblem since 2006–2008. No codes have been found for departments created later (Cuvette-Ouest and, since 2024, several more).
