How to read the plate
EU band
The blue band with the EU flag and the country code E.
Region on old plates
Current plates show no region; only old ones did.
Series and number
Letters and digits — the registration itself.
The current Spanish plate has four digits and three consonants (0202 ZBF), with no vowels, Ñ or Q. The series is national and not tied to a province; on the left is the blue EU band with the letter E. A province code on the left appeared only on old plates: M 1234 AB (1971–2000) or M-123456 (before 1971). Such plates are valid for life and can still be seen on cars registered before 2000 — they are the ones that show the province.

History
From 1900 to 1971 a plate was a province code plus a number (M-123.456); from 1971 to 2000 it was the code, four digits and one or two letters. Some codes changed: GE → GI (1992), PM → IB (1997), OR → OU (1998); a change from LO to LR was approved but never applied. On 18 September 2000 the current national system without provinces was introduced.
