How to read the plate

No region code

You cannot tell the region from this country's plates.

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:

An Eswatini plate since 2010: a random letter and SD, three digits, a random letter and at the very end the first letter of the region of registration (ASD 351 CM, where M is Manzini; H Hhohho, L Lubombo, S Shiselweni). The black characters sit on a landscape picture — white sky, sun, yellow hills — with a year sticker between the digits and the letters. Personalised plates end in SD.

History

From 1980 to 2011 plates read SD 999 XX on a yellow background: at first the last two letters marked the district, later they were assigned at random. Before 1980 the number was SD and up to five digits, white on black.
