How to read the plate

Country code

UA is the international code of the country of registration.

Region code

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:

A Ukrainian plate reads left to right: a two-letter region code, four digits and a two-letter series (AK 9265 AK). Each region has several codes: the main one from 2004 (starting with A, B or C), an additional one from 2013 (starting with K, H or I) and two from 2021 — Lviv Oblast, for example, has BC, HC, CC and EC. Only the 12 Cyrillic letters that look like Latin ones are used: А, В, Е, І, К, М, Н, О, Р, С, Т, Х. On the left is a blue band with the Ukrainian flag and UA. The codes for Crimea and Sevastopol formally remain, but Russian plates have been issued there since 2014.

History

The current format was introduced in 2004, with additional region codes added in 2013 and 2021. From 1995 to 2004 plates had five digits and two letters, and the region was a numeric code 01–27 (28 was a nationwide series); such plates are still allowed if the vehicle has not been re-registered. The nationwide series II was issued in 2004–2006 and has been withdrawn.
