How to read the plate
A Sierra Leone plate of the current series has three letters and three digits (AIB 960). On the left are the flag and SIERRA LEONE in small type; on the right a vertical band shows the category: PRV for private, COM for commercial (in red), GRP for government. According to the German Wikipedia a two-letter place-of-registration code stands above the category, but no list of codes for the current series has been found. Government plates have their own longer format: AA 277 R25 08.

History
The current system is based on the Road Traffic Act 2007; the design with the coat of arms and a QR code appeared in 2020. Earlier plates began with two letters, the first for the province and the second for the district (EK for Kenema, SB for Bo, WU for Freetown). These codes are known only from a hobbyist source; the Falaba and Karene districts created in 2017 have no codes.
