About this plate
PLACAS PROVISORIAS, white paper, red ink, thirty days. The case the Digesto specifies in detail is the one that most needs a machine-readable rule: a registrant more than 200 km in a straight line from the Registro where the vehicle is domiciled may obtain a provisional plate on the spot after the home Registro confirms by e-mail (and must answer "dentro de las DOS (2) horas contadas desde su recepción"). Title I Cap. IX Sec.
How long it is valid
days: 30. note: 'con vencimiento de TREINTA (30) días corridos desde su expedición' (Título II Cap. XVI art. 2 b))
