License plate (Indonesia)
The Indonesian license plates are still based on the administrative division of the country at the time of Dutch colonial rule . The first or the first two letters stand for the provinces of the time , followed by up to four digits, optionally followed by up to two, in Jakarta also three, further letters.

Normal (civil) license plates have white or silver-gray writing on a black background, although there is a wide variety of designs, including letters and numbers from color-changing LEDs. Dealer or transfer license plates have red lettering on a white background, license plates of public administration vehicles have white or silver-gray lettering on a red background. Taxis, buses, and some other commercial transport vehicles have a yellow baseplate with black lettering; unlike the other license plates listed above, these can also have a small metal plate. What all these indicators have in common is that they have a tax-related expiry date (month • year in two digits each) in a second line in smaller font. Diplomatic license plates are white with black letters and always begin with the letters CD , followed by two groups of digits. A special feature are the hallmarks of high government representatives, who have the color scheme of normal civil numbers , but instead of the code letter for a province have the letter sequence RI for Republic of Indonesia and then a short sequence of digits without any further letters.
The characteristics of the police and the military are designed completely differently . They have different basic colors and are generally structured in such a way that a number is given in Roman numerals on one line and a sequence of digits interrupted by a hyphen in a second line; the top line may be missing in the case of newer license plates. The Roman numerals are sometimes replaced by a star. To the left of the numbers is the coat of arms of the police force or the armed forces.
