## About this plate

U. 2006 nr 70 poz. 489 § 6, TWO YEARS AFTER accession, which is exactly the kind of gap a plausible guess closes wrongly. Both remain on the road: § 2 of the 2006 amendment preserved existing plates and § 3 made the swap optional and number-preserving, so flag-band plates are lawful indefinitely and the two series are genuinely parallel. U. 2017 poz.

## How the region is encoded

§ 30 ust. 2 pkt 1: the first letter is the voivodeship, the second, or second and third, the powiat, and § 31 ust. 2 puts the whole table inside the instrument as załącznik nr 13. Unlike Germany's, the list needs no Bundesanzeiger hunt, so the decode file carries all 380 rows and all 689 prefixes from the primary.

## How numbers are issued

§ 30 ust. 2 pkt 1. For a powiat whose wyróżnik is ONE letter (prefix two characters) the vehicle wyróżnik is five characters, in this exhaustion order: five digits 00001-99999; four digits 0001-9999 and a letter; three digits 001-999 and two letters; a digit 1-9, a letter and three digits 001-999; a digit 1-9, two letters and two digits 01-99. For a powiat whose wyróżnik is TWO letters (prefix three characters) it is four or five: a letter and three digits; two digits and two letters; a digit, a letter and two digits; two digits, a letter and a digit; a digit, two letters and a digit; two letters and two digits; then five digits; four digits and a letter; three digits and two letters. The list is ordered "tworzony kolejno", each layout is reached only when the previous is exhausted, which makes the layout an ORDINAL age signal within a powiat. The regulation publishes no dates against it.

## Separators

The printed gap between prefix and serial is the LEGALISATION-STICKER WELL, not a glyph: załącznik nr 12 pkt 2.6 lit. a puts the 18 x 30 mm laser-marked slot "symetrycznie między ostatnim znakiem wyróżnika województwa lub powiatu a pierwszym znakiem wyróżnika pojazdu".
