How to read the plate

The new Senegalese plate reads AA-012-BC: two letters, three digits and two more letters, with dots between the groups. The number stays with the vehicle for life. A separate field on the right holds the two-letter region code — DK for Dakar, TH for Thiès and so on, 14 codes matching ISO 3166-2 — with the two-digit number of the department within the region below it. A blue band on the left carries the flag and SN.
