## About this plate

THE EU-BAND SIX-CHARACTER PLATE, the format most Hungarian vehicles on the road still carry. Existing plates were not recalled at either boundary: both older designs remain valid on the road, which is why this file models three overlapping-at-the-edges standard series rather than one.

## About its years

START is a reported FIRST ISSUE, not an instrument: the secondary dates the first EU-format Hungarian plate to 1 May 2004, accession day, and names its serial JDA-001. END is instrument-dated: issuance of the six-character format stopped when 303/2021's commencement took effect on 2022-07-01.

## How numbers are issued

The first EU-band plate is reported as JDA-001, which is the only anchor this file has for dating a 1990-system serial, and it is a single reported point rather than a published allocation table.
