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.
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 Mauritian private plate is a serial number, the month-of-registration code and the last two digits of the year: 1234 JN 12 (JN for January … DE for December). The letters mean the month, not a region. Government plates read GM 3345. The classic plate has silver characters on black with a MAURITIUS tab; modern private plates may be black on white or yellow.

Region codes

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