## About this plate

ADMINISTRATIVE AND TECHNICAL STAFF of embassies. That is a real design fact and would be lost by folding this into the CD series.

## Format notes

art. 12: the letter A, two digits, then the State letter. This is why A appears in Llei 24/2014's list of prefixes a personalised plate may not imitate, alongside MT, CD, CMD and CC.
