How to read the plate

Country code
KWT is the international code of the country of registration.
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:

A Kuwaiti plate has two rows: a one- or two-digit code with دولة الكويت on top, a large number of up to five digits below, and KUWAIT written vertically on the left. The upper code is the vehicle category, not a region: 1–89 are private, 90–99 public (91 transport, 92 buses, 93 taxis, 95 goods export). Kuwaiti plates carry no region.

Region codes

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

History

Kuwait has issued plates since 1950; the formats have changed since then, but none is known to have shown a region. The current design dates from 2008.
