- About this plate
- GREEK MOTORCYCLE PLATE, 280 x 210 mm, nearly square, two rows. Worth stating for a parse API: a three-letter/three-digit Greek string is a motorcycle, and a three-letter/four-digit one is not, the digit count is the only discriminator in the string, and it is reliable because both are fixed by the same instrument. Commencement 1-5-2004 as for the car series, with the same statutory old-stock tail.
- How the region is encoded
- first two letters = Directorate, from the motorcycle arm of the allocation annex; 52 of the decode table's rows are marked motorcycle allocations
- How numbers are issued
- as the ordinary series, the first two letters are the Directorate, but note that the motorcycle allocation is a SEPARATE arm of the annex, amended by its own instruments (ΥΑ 282069/2023, ΥΑ 178239/2024), so a two-letter prefix may denote different Directorates for cars and for motorcycles
- Separators
- the statutory hyphen, carrying the embossed state seal above it, exactly as on the car plate (art. 5 para. 2(β))
