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 H.
No region code
You cannot tell the region from this country's plates.
Series and number
Letters and digits — the registration itself.

Since 1 July 2022 a Hungarian plate has four letters and three digits: two letters, the coat of arms, two more letters, a dash and the digits (AA AB-123). No region is shown: series are issued in turn for the whole country. The first two letters are either both vowels or both consonants; Q is not used.

Region codes

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

History

From 1990 to 2022 plates had three letters and three digits (ABC-123) and were also issued in nationwide series. In 1958–1990 two letters and four digits pointed to the type of vehicle or owner, not to a region. In the 1990s blocks of series were shared out among the counties, but no system ever tied letters to a region for good.
