Andorra's current national series — a letter and four digits under PRINCIPAT D'ANDORRA and the escut, for a country of 80,000 people.

The letter is not a district, a class or a year — Andorra simply exhausted its five-digit numbers and put a letter in front to keep counting. Cars, trailers and semi-trailers share the one sequence, so the string cannot even tell you which you are behind.

## About this plate

THE CURRENT ORDINARY SERIES, one letter and four digits, black on white, arms upper left, AND beneath them, PRINCIPAT D'ANDORRA along the bottom. Trailers and semi-trailers share this series, so an Andorran trailer plate is textually indistinguishable from a car plate.

## About its years

READ THIS, IT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT NOTE IN THE FILE. The ACA manufactures Andorran plates under Govern concession (Reglament art. 3.1), so it is an authoritative agency, but it is NOT an instrument, and it does not give a first-issue date. WHY NO INSTRUMENT IS CITED HERE, THOUGH ONE IS DATED 2011: the Decret of 23 February 2011 does not introduce this format. Its art. 3.2 describes the five-digit stage and the lettered stage in ONE SENTENCE as a continuous scheme advancing on exhaustion, and its stated innovations were the reduced plate, enduro/trial plates, ground images and the AND mark. The coincidence of years makes it a more dangerous trap than usual, not a safer one.

## How numbers are issued

The letter advances only when the four digits exhaust, per art. 6.2's continuous-scheme sentence. There is NO date encoded and no geography.

## Separators

art. 6.2 describes 'un grup de 5 caràcters' with no separator glyph; the pattern spells the serial unbroken.
