How to read the plate
A North Korean plate shows the region on the left — two Hangul syllables abbreviating the province or city (평양 for Pyongyang, 평남 for South Pyongan, 함북 for North Hamgyong), followed by digits. State organisations' cars have two and four digits joined by a dash (평양 74-1551); since 2016 these plates are blue, before that white. Private plates are yellow (평양-4506), and diplomatic ones begin with 외 and carry no region. There is no official description — the data come from photos and reference works.
