Format, years and the law

Format
LL-999L, for example CJ-756F (L is any letter, 9 any digit)

District letters as usual on the blue plate, but the red two-digit figure at the edge is a date: the year the provisional registration dies. One of the few Austrian plates that tells you when, not just where.

The format above follows the issuing rules: a registration that fits it is one this series could have issued.

Years issued
1989 to today. Still issued.
Vehicle class
Temporary: short-validity plates (transit, awaiting registration). Issued for car, van, truck, bus, motorcycle, and trailer.
