The current French font, of which Numberplate France below is a replica, appears to have been officially in use since the late s, although exactly when is unclear. Counterfeiting of plate numbers in s drove eventual switch in typeface.
The two primary typefaces of note that have been used for German license plates are DIN from till November see DIN writeup above on this page , and FE Schrift which has been mandated since then. The idea for FE Schrift had its origins as a response to the tampering of number plate characters practiced by the Red Army Faction in Germany in the s to disguise the identity of stolen cars.
Because DIN is based on a regularized and symmetrical character grid, it was not too difficult to use strips of tape or paint to add strokes to certain characters and falsify them. Falsifications possible with the original DIN design are:.
Note: With FE Schrift, white paint would be required in addition to black tape or paint to pull off character falsification. However, white paint is easily detectable against the unique surface sheen of retroreflective plate surfaces, especially when reflecting light at night. The resulting design with its irregular character construction has caused controversy, some admiring its quirky charm, others decrying it as a breach of good visual design. Also, some have questioned whether the design is really that effective against falsification.

Three styles: Regular, Alternative both with an added lowercase that the original German government typeface lacks , and Small Caps. Since , Italy has used a font based on DIN , although the weight is a little lighter than usual for number plate implementations.
Prior to that, the font had been changed a few different times. As far back as about the late s, a squarish sans design was used.
In , the font was changed to an oldstyle serif design, then in , switched back to a sans serif, though not so constructivist in style as DIN.
After moving to the DIN derived variant in , the font underwent several changes in , by which time it had assumed a form very close to the current font. A few minor changes in then resulted in the currently used version. See the DIN page for a list of specific differences.

The identifying letter had to be doubled to show that a car plate belonged to the second series. To anticipate any shortage, three regions obtained a second letter in O for Nancy , K for Poitiers and V for Marseille. Regions were allowed to begin new series of three numbers in The new ones were distinguished from the original ones by a number between 2 and 9 added after the letter. Temporary registration plates for vehicles for sale were created in They had the letter W instead of the regional code.
In , regions were reorganised. Some disappeared while other ones were created. Until then, cars in that region had continued to use German plates with the regional code VI. In , a new system was adopted to replace the first one. It retained its regional characteristic but greatly widened geographic codes. Seine , the most populous one, received several dozen new codes. The new codes did not use the letters I and O because they could be confused with the numbers 1 and 0 or W which was reserved for use on provisional plates.
Double letters and letter combinations that designated countries, such as GB for Great Britain , were also avoided. Registration plates issued after were similar to the older ones, with one to four numbers followed by the two-letter code. This code could be in turn followed by a number from 1 to 9 for the same purpose as in the system.
Temporary plates for vehicles in transit on the French territory were created in They used TT instead of the geographical code. Diplomatic plates were first issued in They were in dark yellow with white lettering.
Initially planned to last 75 years, the system was withdrawn in Overseas territories have diverse statuses and enjoy a large autonomy. A vehicle registration plate , also known as a number plate , license plate , or licence plate , is a metal or plastic plate attached to a motor vehicle or trailer for official identification purposes.
All countries require registration plates for road vehicles such as cars, trucks, and motorcycles. Whether they are required for other vehicles, such as bicycles, boats, or tractors, may vary by jurisdiction. The registration identifier is a numeric or alphanumeric ID that uniquely identifies the vehicle or vehicle owner within the issuing region's vehicle register. In some countries, the identifier is unique within the entire country, while in others it is unique within a state or province.
Whether the identifier is associated with a vehicle or a person also varies by issuing agency. There are also electronic license plates. In the Republic of Ireland, vehicle registration plates are the visual indications of motor vehicle registration — officially termed "index marks" — which it has been mandatory since to display on most motor vehicles used on public roads in Ireland.
The alphanumeric marks themselves are issued by the local authority in which a vehicle is first registered. Vehicles registered in Slovakia are generally assigned to one of the districts okres and since , the licence plate coding generally consists of seven characters and takes the form XX-NNNLL , where XX is a two letter code corresponding to the district, NNN is three digit number and LL are two letters.
The most common format for vehicle registration plates in Romania consists of black letters on white background in the format CC ABC , where CC is a one- or two-letter county code, is a two- or three-digit group, and ABC is a three-letter group.
The left side of the plate bears a blue vertical strip displaying the 12 stars of the European Union and the country code of Romania RO. Between the band featured the Romanian flag instead of the 12 stars. All lettering comes from the Latin alphabet. All motorised road vehicles in India are tagged with a registration or licence number.
The Vehicle registration plate number is issued by the district-level Regional Transport Office RTO of respective states — the main authority on road matters.
The number plates are placed in the front and back of the vehicle. By law, all plates are required to be in modern Hindu-Arabic numerals with Latin letters. The international vehicle registration code for India is IND. Austrian car number plates are mandatory vehicle registration plates displaying the registration mark of motor vehicles in Austria.
They are used to verify street legality, proof of a valid liability insurance and to identify and recognise the vehicle.
Turkish vehicle registration plates are number plates found on Turkish vehicles. The plates use an indirect numbering system associated with the geographical info. In Turkey, number plates are made by authorized private workshops. The registration identifier is a numeric or alphanumeric code that uniquely identifies the vehicle within the issuing authority's database.
In Europe most countries have adopted a format for number plates that satisfies the requirements in the Vienna Convention on Road Traffic, which states that cross-border vehicles must display a distinguishing code for the country of registration on the rear of the vehicle. This sign may be an oval sticker placed separately from the registration plate, or may be incorporated into the vehicle registration plate.
When the distinguishing sign is incorporated into the registration plate, it must also appear on the front registration plate of the vehicle, and may be supplemented with the flag or emblem of the national state, or the emblem of the regional economic integration organisation to which the country belongs.
