## About this plate

U. 2017 poz. 2355 § 57 pkt 2, four provisions of which were held back to 1 July 2018 while the rest of the instrument began on 1 January. Excluded from the type by § 26 ust. 1 pkt 1 lit. b: motorcycles, agricultural tractors, slow vehicles in tourist road-trains, and "samochodowy inny". § 30 ust. 3 pairs it with the reduced TEMPORARY plate: an authority may issue both bearing the same number.

## Region code notes

DELIBERATELY none, and this is the fact that makes the series worth separating: the reduced plate carries only the VOIVODESHIP letter, so a parse API can resolve it to one of sixteen voivodeships (or, where the voivodeship has two letters, to one voivodeship exactly) and can never resolve it to a powiat.

## How numbers are issued

§ 30 ust. 2 pkt 2, and it is the ONE Polish civil plate with NO POWIAT CODE AT ALL: "dla powiatów z wyróżnikiem jednoliterowym i dwuliterowym pierwsza litera stanowi wyróżnik województwa, następne cyfry lub cyfry i litera, lub litery stanowią wyróżnik pojazdu", one voivodeship letter and three characters, in the exhaustion order 999, 99L, 9L9, L99, 9LL, LL9, L9L. The powiat is unrecoverable from the string, by design, because there is no room for it.
