Plate types
How to read the plate
A Hong Kong plate has two series letters and 1–4 digits without a leading zero (KT 8264); I, O and Q are not used. There is no region on the plate: series are issued in order for the whole territory. The plates follow the British pattern with the Charles Wright typeface; the front plate is white, the rear one yellow. Personalised plates also exist.
