About this plate
The Croatian vanity plate keeps its geography: unlike a British or Dutch personalised mark it cannot escape the area code. 22 st. 22 st.
How the region is encoded
the area code and arms are retained and precede the chosen part (čl. 22 st. 1, 'na dijelu registarske pločice iza oznake registracijskog područja i grba Republike Hrvatske'), so the geographic decode is unaffected.
How long it is valid
term years: 5. statute: Čl. 23: the right of use runs five years from registration, is renewable in five-year terms on payment, and lapsing it obliges the owner to deregister within 15 days and return the plates.
