How to read the plate
A Mexican private car plate has three letters, three digits and a letter (ABC-123-D), black on white. Each state issues its own plates, with its name at the top and its own background art. Letter series are also allocated by state, so the state can sometimes be told from the first letters too.

Until 1992 there was a single federal design with the state abbreviation and MEX (for example “GTO MEX”). In 1992 three-letter series were allocated to the states, since 1998 the states have used their own designs, and in 2016 the AAA-000-A format was introduced. Mexico City had its own 000-AAA series from 1972 to 2015.
