## About this plate

ADMINISTRATIVE AND TECHNICAL STAFF of missions, and staff of international organisations.

## Format notes

Art. 6: "un numéro d'identification identique à celui attribué aux membres du corps diplomatique suivi de la lettre 'K' et de deux chiffres." THE LEADING NUMBER IS SHARED WITH THE MISSION'S CD PLATE, so a K plate and a CD plate with the same leading identifier belong to the same mission. That is a genuine decode relationship, and it is the only one in the Monegasque system.
