## About this plate

The ordinary Egyptian mark. Issuance is NATIONAL, administered by governorate traffic offices, this is expressly NOT the UAE emirate-level model: one national law, one national authority, and art. 12 makes the registration valid countrywide.

## About its years

2008 = Law 121/2008, gazetted 9 June 2008, which replaced art. 13 and enabled the redesign. AN ENABLING-INSTRUMENT DATE, NOT A FIRST-ISSUE DATE, and the two are deliberately kept apart. None of those is instrument-grade and none is recorded as the period start.

## How the region is encoded

The encoding is partial (Cairo and Giza are unrestricted), press-sourced, and its allocating instrument was never found. V5.

## How numbers are issued

Not sourced. The General Traffic Department described the three letters in 2009 as a code, one for the owner's governorate of residence, one for the traffic unit, one for the registration, but no allocating rule or sequence was published.
