Custom text: real plates never carry this combination.

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

EU band
The blue band with the EU flag and the country code DK.
No region code
You cannot tell the region from this country's plates.
Series and number
Letters and digits — the registration itself.

A Danish plate has two letters and five digits grouped 2 + 3 (EW 40 672). The white plate measures 504 × 120 mm and has a red border, with the blue EU band and DK on the left. There is no region in the number: series are issued in sequence, with no geography.

Region codes

Plates in this country do not show the region — you cannot tell it from the plate.

History

Two-letter series were introduced in 1966 and white plates in 1976. Until 1958–1966 a single letter stood for the town or amt of first registration; such plates are now issued only on request as historic (black) plates for vintage cars.
