About this plate
THE CURRENT HUNGARIAN PLATE, AND THE FILE'S ONE HARD DATE. In force from 1 July 2022 by the express commencement provision of 303/2021. (VI. 1.) Korm. rendelet, which is itself dated 1 June 2021, thirteen months earlier. The seventh character was added because the six-character space was running out, not because anything geographic was introduced: the 2022 plate is as regionally silent as the 1990 one.
How numbers are issued
Not established. No block-allocation order for the four-letter space was sourced, so a 2022-series Hungarian plate cannot be dated from its serial by anything in this file.
Separators
The gap between the two letter pairs is reported to be occupied by the Hungarian coat of arms, not by a separator glyph; the hyphen before the digits is printed.
