About this plate
THE PAPER ONE-TRIP PLATE, green ground, black printed characters, issued by the DEALER to a buyer for the single journey from the point of sale to the place of registration, valid ten days. Called "zvláštní registrační značka pro jednorázové použití s omezenou platností" in 2001 and renamed "pro jízdu z místa prodeje do místa registrace silničního vozidla" in 2014 without changing its grammar. It is the only Czech plate made of paper, the only one with printed rather than embossed characters, the only one with a printed border, and the only one whose layout the regulation expressly exempts from the single-row rule, four exceptions in one series, which is why it is modelled separately rather than as a variant.
How the region is encoded
the kraj LETTER, at position 1
Separators
NO SEPARATOR AT ALL, and that is sourced rather than assumed. This is the one Czech mark expressly EXCLUDED from the single-row sticker-gap rule: § 27 odst. 1 provides that the three-and-five row split "neplatí pro zvláštní registrační značku pro jízdu z místa prodeje do místa registrace silničního vozidla, kde je v prvním řádku umístěn 1 znak a v druhém řádku maximálně 6 znaků", this plate is always TWO ROWS, one character over six, so there is no in-line gap to spell.
How long it is valid
10 days from issue, § 21 odst. 4 vyhlášky 243/2001 Sb.: 'Na tabulce je vyznačena platnost registrační značky, která je stanovena na 10 dnů od jejího vydání.'
