## About this plate

U. 1998 nr 57 poz. 365 § 17 ust. Eligibility is not in this instrument: it runs through the entry of the vehicle in the wojewódzka ewidencja zabytków or the acquisition of a rzeczoznawca's certificate, which is a heritage question rather than a plate question and is out of scope for this file.

## How numbers are issued

§ 30 ust. 2 pkt 5, the SHORTEST civil serials in the system. A one-letter powiat gets two digits and a letter, then three digits; a two-letter powiat gets a digit and a letter, then two digits, then a letter and a digit. A historic plate is therefore five characters in total where an ordinary one is seven or eight, which is the quickest way to recognise one after the colour.
