Format, years and the law

LLL9L99, for example MTB7K52 (L is any letter, 9 any digit)

Same national, non-geographic pool as the car plate: no character reveals the state, and one near-square plate serves motorcycles, mopeds, trikes and quadricycles alike, Brazil gives mopeds no grammar of their own.

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

Years issued
2018 to today. Still issued.
Vehicle class
Motorcycle: reduced-size series for motorcycles where format/design differs. Issued for motorcycle, moped, tricycle, and quadricycle.
