License plate (Ukraine)
In the Ukraine , after the collapse of the Soviet Union at the end of 1991, separate license plates were introduced.
Since 2004
The current license plates were introduced in 2004 and are structured as follows: On the left side there is a blue field that shows the national flag of Ukraine above the nationality symbol UA . Before the introduction of this “euro bar” on January 31, 2015, the yellow national coat of arms appeared in the upper half of the bar on a light blue background. The lower half had a yellow background, the black letters UA could be read. The entire field symbolized the national flag of Ukraine. A AA 3457 BB
letter combination follows according to the example , whereby the first two letters indicate the origin. In Ukraine there is also the possibility of a custom number plate , where the inscription can be freely chosen. Letters of the Cyrillic alphabet are also possible here.
Public transport vehicles have yellow license plates, which are otherwise similar to the usual signs. Police vehicles are usually given light blue license plates with white lettering.
Temporary license plates have a red background and white lettering, they replace them with black lettering and a 12-month field. Both have two letters and four digits, depending on the type of temporary approval, the region is preceded by two reduced digits or another combination of letters and numbers.
Government or other high authority vehicles only show numbers. To the left of it you can see the coat of arms and to the right the flag of Ukraine.
Diplomatic license plates begin with the letter D and do not show any other symbolism. This is followed by a three-digit code that encodes the country of origin (see diplomatic codes) and a three-digit serial number.
The license plates of the Ukrainian armed forces have white letters on a black background. They consist of four digits, a letter and another digit.
1995-2004
From 1995 to 2004 the Ukrainian flag could be seen on the left edge of the license plate. Under the flag was a two-digit number that indicated the district in which the vehicle was registered, see below. The actual identification number began with three digits, followed by a hyphen, followed by two more digits and two letters. These letters were assigned to the respective districts in blocks. As a rule, only the letters that appear in the Cyrillic and Latin alphabet were used .
Examples:
Diplomatic license plates had a red background color from 2001 to 2004 and showed a reduced three-digit number at the beginning of the shield, which encoded the country of origin. One or more letters followed, which marked the status of the mission. Were used CC for consul, DP for Diplomat, CDP for the head of a diplomatic mission and S for international organizations.
Before 1995
Before independence, the Soviet numbering system was used. Ukrainian license plates were issued for the first time in the early 1990s. They started with a reduced letter followed by four digits. The license plate ended with two letters that indicated the district. On the left edge of some license plates the flag of Ukraine and the letters UA could be seen.
