About this plate
THE CURRENT DIPLOMATIC PLATE. Six digits behind a CD prefix, on a light blue ground, with the leading triple naming the sending state. Note what this series is NOT: it is not evidence that Hungary encodes region. The only Hungarian decode of any kind in this file is a decode of FOREIGN MISSIONS, and even that is described rather than tabulated, because the mapping was not sourced.
About its years
The secondary dates the DT and CK series' expiry to 2017 and describes the CD six-digit series as the current one, which places the CD series' start at that changeover. No instrument was reached. The 2022 format change did NOT touch this series as far as any source consulted says, the diplomatic plate is numeric and was never part of the letter-space exhaustion that drove the 2022 reform.
How numbers are issued
Two reported points: 001 is the Holy See and 020 the United States.
