How to read the plate

Country code

RL is the international code of the country of registration.

Region code

Letters at the start of the number.

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 Lebanese plate reads left to right: a blue strip with the word لبنان, a white cedar and خصوصي (private), then a Latin letter and a number of up to six digits. On private cars the letter is the registration centre: B Beirut, Y Aley, G Jounieh, O Ouzai, N Nabatieh, S Sidon, T Tripoli, Z Zahle. Other letters (M, P, C, D, J, R, MP) mark the plate type, not a region.

History

The first plates of 1945 had no letter codes. The current system with a registration-centre letter dates from 1998; the letter A was used on plates issued before 1998. The design with the blue strip appeared in December 2017.
