How to read the plate

Country code
Q is the international code of the country of registration.
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 Qatari plate is digits only: one to six of them. On the left is the maroon flag band with its serrated edge and QATAR written vertically, then the word قطر and the number. There is no region on the plate. Single-digit numbers belong to the royal family.

Region codes

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

History

Qatar has issued plates since the 1950s, and none of its formats showed a region. The current design dates from 2012; a new one was announced in 2025.
