How to read the plate

Region name
The region is written on the plate as a word — a state or province.
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:

Pakistan has no single design: each province and territory has its own, and the region is written out as a word, often with an emblem. An Islamabad plate has ICT on top, two or three letters and up to four digits in the middle (AB-123) and ISLAMABAD below. Plates from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Balochistan and Azad Kashmir also name the issuing city at the bottom. The series letters do not encode the region (except on old Punjab plates).

History

In Punjab until August 2020 the first letter of the series stood for the city (L for Lahore, M for Multan, V for Vehari) and the plate showed the year of issue; a new system has applied since 2020. In 2024–2025 the provinces are moving to plates tied to the owner. No complete official list of the old city letters has been found.
