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:

In Palau each of the 16 states issues its own plates, and there is no common format: the plate shows the state name (STATE OF KOROR, Ngeremlengui State), a seal or picture and a motto. The state is recognised by that caption; the digits carry no region. The example is Koror: up to five digits in blue on white and the motto BOUNTIFUL ISLES.
