About this plate
Secondary sources date the Czech diplomatic plate's switch from blue-on-yellow to blue-on-white to 2001. THE INSTRUMENT DATES IT TO 1 JUNE 2004: vyhláška 243/2001 Sb. § 24 odst. 2 písm. c) and d) both read "modrý podklad a žluté znaky" for diplomatic and cizinecká vehicles, and it was vyhláška 291/2004 Sb. Čl. I bod 3 that replaced the whole of § 24 with a version reading "bílý podklad a modré znaky". The prefix set changed at the same reform: 2001 knew only "DD" and "XX" (§ 16 odst. 3), the current regulation knows CD, XX, XS and HC. II odst.
Region code notes
expressly excluded from the kraj rule by § 24 odst. 2 vyhlášky 243/2001 Sb.; a diplomatic mark carries no geography
Separators
the § 27 odst. 2 sticker gap after position 3, as on every single-row Czech plate
