## About this plate

U. 2023 poz. 1776, 4 September 2023), not the date the U system began, which is certainly older: the chain of MON instruments runs back through Dz. U. 2012 poz. 623, Dz. U. 2005 nr 84 poz. 723 and Dz. U. 1999 nr 84 poz.

## Region code notes

U is not a voivodeship letter, it is one of the two letters (with H) that never appear in column 4 of załącznik nr 13, which is exactly what makes the prefix unambiguous. Note § 6 ust. 1-2 however: unmarked vehicles of the Żandarmeria Wojskowa, the special forces, the cyberspace-defence troops and certain protected-installation units may be registered under an ORDINARY voivodeship+powiat number instead, deliberately indistinguishable from a civil plate. A parse API cannot detect those and its confidence model should know they exist.

## How numbers are issued

§ 6 ust. 3: "wyróżnika Sił Zbrojnych, którym jest wielka litera U umieszczana jako pierwsza" plus a vehicle wyróżnik of one letter and then, by plate type, a five-digit number 00001-99999 for car plates and for numbers painted directly on the vehicle, a four-digit number 0001-9999 for motorcycle plates, or a four-digit number followed by the FIXED LETTER T for a tracked vehicle.
