About this plate
THE FIVE-DIGIT SERIES, Andorra's ordinary plate before the lettered stage. Note the asymmetry in the evidence: the SERIAL change between the two series is undated, while the AND MARK change that accompanied it is dated by the 2011 Decret.
About its years
BOTH ENDS ARE HONEST APPROXIMATIONS AND THE FILE SAYS SO. START: 1999 is an UPPER BOUND, not an origin. The Llei del Codi de la circulació of 10 June 1999 is the earliest instrument reached that carries a plate catalogue at all (art. 147: "Aquest Codi inclou el catàleg de plaques de matrícula vigents a Andorra"), and the five-digit grammar is confirmed from the 2011 Decret describing it as the base stage. The format certainly predates 1999, BOPA's archive begins in 1989 and pre-1989 Andorran law is not digitised, so how far back it runs is unknowable from here. The five-digit stage closed when 99999 exhausted, which is an event, not a legal act, and no source dates it. 2011 is the earliest year the lettered stage is reported to have been running.
How numbers are issued
sequential from 00000; leading zeros are part of the form, since the range is written as beginning 00000
Format notes
Every secondary account describes the pre-2011 plates as "black on white" without ever stating the grammar; art. 6.2 of Decret 456/2022 (and art. 3.2 of the 2011 Decret before it) states it exactly, in the course of describing the scheme's first stage.
