## About this plate

THE PLATE THAT IS STILL ON THE ROAD. This series ends as an ISSUING series on 2016-07-04 and not as a VALID one: NN 45/2016 čl. 8 and NN 130/2017 čl. 57 both say the owner is not obliged to change plates issued on the older forms, and NN 130/2017 čl. 25 st. 3 replaces a worn band-less plate with the same mark PLUS the band. The 1993-2016 window spans three base pravilnici (NN 12/1993, the 2005 series, NN 151/2008) and is cut here as ONE series because the three of them prescribe the same plate: white ground, black characters, area code, arms, three-or-four digits and one-or-two letters. Where they differ is in procedure, not in the mark. The 2005-2007 instruments (NN 5/05 … 68/07) were named in NN 151/2008 čl.

## How the region is encoded

Same prefix mechanism, but with the PRE-2016 binding, which was tighter: NN 151/2008 čl. 40 st. 3 let the plates pass to a buyer only if the registration area did not change, so for a plate issued before 2016-07-04 and not re-registered since, the code is much better evidence about the current owner's area than it is for a later plate.
