Vehicle registration plates of Ukraine
- Vehicle registration plates of Ukraine
In Ukraine, the plate format has changed since the collapse of the Soviet Union. Soviet plates prior to 1982 were white-on-black. They had combination of four digits, grouped by two and three Cyrillic letters. Rear plate was square with letters located below the numbers. From those letters, first two indicated the region. For example, 75-63 ДОН combination referd to the car from Donetsk region. After 1982 a new black-on-white format for newly registered cars was adopted. The 1982 format differentiated privately owned from government owned cars and trucks (virtually all vehicles used for business, as well as all businesses belonged to the government). The government owned vehicles retained NN-NN LLL scheme while private vehicles used L NN-NN LL. The last two letters indicated regions or large cities. Largest cities usually had several two-letter codes to account for a larger number of cars. For example city of Kiev used КИ and ХТ codes while Kiev Oblast' region used КХ.
The current format uses a letter followed by 4 digits and 4 letters. To improve legibility of the numbers for Ukrainian cars abroad, only a small subset of Ukrainian Cyrillic characters that look like Latin characters are used (12 letters: A, B, C, E, H, I, K, M, O, P, T, X). Finally, letters "UA" are included, as well as the national flag (the flag was not used on some of the earliest plates of this format).
The standard size for the license plate is 520 mm by 112 mm.
Some vehicles, like trolleybuses, are not required to have license plates, because they can not leave the network they operate on and can be identified by number that is painted and is given by local public transport authority.
