About this plate
DIPLOMATIC CORPS. The 1978 text subdivided the green series finely, ministres plénipotentiaires of the Sovereign Prince at CD 1Z to CD 9Z, members of the diplomatic corps from CD 10 to CD 20, career consular officers and assimilated international bodies each with their own paragraph. The current text collapses these into one CD grammar plus the separate K series below.
Format notes
Art. 6, current: "les lettres 'CD' suivies d'un numéro d'identification et d'une lettre classant les véhicules." The trailing letter CLASSIFIES the vehicle; the middle group identifies the mission.
