## About this plate

U. 1998 nr 57 poz. 365 § 20 ust. 2 pkt 5 was TWO letters and five digits (four on motorcycles) and used the Warsaw voivodeship code, so 1 May 2000 changed the diplomatic grammar as well as the ordinary one.

## Region code notes

voivodeship letter only, column 4 of the annex, the same letters ordinary plates use; there is no powiat component.

## How numbers are issued

§ 30 ust. 2 pkt 7, verbatim and complete: "na tablicach rejestracyjnych dyplomatycznych, pierwsza litera stanowi wyróżnik województwa, zaś sześć cyfr w przedziale od 000001 do 999999 stanowi wyróżnik pojazdu." One letter and six digits, and NOTHING ELSE, the instrument publishes no country-code or entitlement-class structure inside those six digits.
