## How the region is encoded

Same kraj letter as the successor, and in this era the code DID track the vehicle: § 20 odst. 1 vyhlášky 243/2001 Sb., verbatim, "Při převodu vozidla do obvodu registračního místa, pro něž je určen jiný kód kraje, přidělí nové registrační místo vždy novou registrační značku a vydá novou tabulku registrační značky." A mark issued in this period, still on its original vehicle, is a reliable geographic claim in a way a post-2015 mark is not.

## Separators

§ 17 odst. 2 vyhlášky 243/2001 Sb., the same no-punctuation rule and the same sticker gap between positions 3 and 4 as the 2014 successor.
