## About this plate

THE TEMPORARY PLATE, and THE REASON POLAND HAS NO EXPORT PLATE: taking a vehicle permanently out of the country is one of the temporary plate's own statutory purposes and has been since 1993. The 2024 instrument added a REDUCED temporary plate (305 x 114 mm) that the 2022 text lacked, pairable under § 30 ust. 3 with a reduced ordinary plate bearing the same number. Validity is not in this instrument: it runs from art. 74 of the ustawa, and the old fourteen-day cap of the 1993 rules no longer applies.

## How numbers are issued

§ 30 ust. 2 pkt 6, verbatim: "litera i cyfra stanowią wyróżnik województwa, zaś cztery cyfry w przedziale od 0001 do 9999 stanowią wyróżnik pojazdu, który po wyczerpaniu wskazanej pojemności tworzy się w układzie trzy cyfry w przedziale od 001 do 999 i litera." Six characters, letter+digit prefix from column 6 of załącznik nr 13, no powiat component.
