How to read the plate

Region name
The region is written on the plate as a word — a state or province.
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:

The UAE has no single plate: each of the seven emirates issues its own design, and the region is recognised by the emirate's name written in Arabic and English. The site draws a Dubai plate: one or two Latin letters on the left, the wordmark دبي above DUBAI in the centre and a number of up to five digits on the right. The letters are a series within the emirate, not a region code. Some Dubai plates also show a month and year next to DUBAI.

History

Earlier emirate plates also showed the region by the emirate's name; only the series codes changed. The current designs came in at different times: Abu Dhabi in 2016–2017, Dubai in 2017 (a short European-size plate), Sharjah in 2023.
