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 Monaco plate is a small plate with blue characters on white. The number has four characters: digits, sometimes with a letter at the start or end (179C, L469, 3966). On the left is a shield with the red Grimaldi lozenges, the year and the letters MC; under the number is the inscription PRINCIPAUTE DE MONACO. There is no region on the plate — Monaco is a city-state; numbers starting with 000 belong to the prince's family.

Region codes

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