License plate (Myanmar)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A private vehicle registration number. Two numbers have been blacked out to protect the identity of the owner.
A commercial vehicle license plate. Two numbers have been blacked out to protect the identity of the owner.

The license plate of Myanmar to the Road Transport Administration Department awarded (RTAD) and are in color and form often very different.

Current vehicle registration numbers in Myanmar contain a three-letter regional code (like YGN for Yangon) over a six-digit alphanumeric serial number. As of October 2013, the new signs are now entirely written in English (in block and / or lower case) and Arabic numerals, although older signs with all Burmese characters are still common, especially on older vehicles. The mandatory use of the English language and the Arabic numerals does not prohibit the repetition of the information through the parallel use of the national characters. All military vehicles and every type of motorcycle go on only with the incomprehensible Burmese.
