About this plate
The ALTERNATIVE plate for automotores whose circulation is restricted.
Region code notes
none, Argentine dominios encode no geography, and the alternative series is allocated from one national pool exactly as the ordinary one is
How numbers are issued
DESCENDING from ZZ 000 AA, right to left, with the SECOND position running in reverse alphabetical order (Z, Y, X, ...) while every other alphabetic position runs forward. This is the mirror image of the ordinary Mercosur series and is the only Argentine series whose odometer runs backwards in any position.
How long it is valid
note: The vehicle is registered but restricted: the Registro Seccional inserts the legend "Vehículo con circulación restringida" and, pending the metal plates, issues provisional plates (automotores) or a thirty-day permiso de circulación (motovehículos).
