Custom text: real plates never carry this combination.

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

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

A Maldivian plate carries no region, even though the country has more than 1,200 islands. It has white characters on black on two lines: the top gives the vehicle category (A0/A1 motorcycles, B0/B1/B2 cars, C0/C1/C2 goods vehicles) and series, the bottom a use letter and four digits. The use letters are P private, C commercial, G government, S police, T taxi and D diplomatic. Atoll letter codes are not used on plates.

Region codes

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

History

Until 1984 a plate had at most four digits; the design changed in 1984 and letters were added in 1998. The current pattern has been issued since 2003. Maldivian plates have never had regional codes.
