Custom text: real plates never carry this combination.

This image is not a license plate: it must not be fitted to a vehicle and does not mean the combination is available.

How to read the plate

No region code
You cannot tell the region from this country's plates.
Series and number
Letters and digits — the registration itself.

A Timor-Leste plate is white with a black border: two and three digits separated by a dot (14·875), with the letters TL at the bottom. The national series shows no region; sources do not explain what the first two digits mean. The exception is the Oecusse enclave, where the letters OE come first (OE·30·002).
