About this plate
THE RED PROVISIONAL PLATE. Romania runs a genuinely separate LONG-TERM temporary plate as well, reported as black-charactered, with a number that never begins with zero and a red validity strip on the right giving year and month, used for foreign residents and leased vehicles. That second plate is NOT authored here: it shares neither this one's colour nor its leading-zero rule, and no date was sourced for it. Splitting them on colour would have been easy and wrong without a date for the second.
About its years
2006 IS THE INSTRUMENT, NOT THE FIRST ISSUE, and the distinction is the whole point of this field. Ordinul M.A.I. nr. 1.501 din 13 noiembrie 2006 governs "eliberarea autorizaţiei de circulaţie provizorie", the rule is in force from then.
About the format
The reported grammar is a territorial code followed by three to six digits of which the first is always 0 and the second is always non-zero. A match is a shape hit.
