About this plate
THE CURRENT ROMANIAN COUNTY PLATE. Two-letter county code, two digits, three letters, black on white, EU band.
About its years
2007 is the EU band's arrival, not the serial's.
How the region is encoded
THE TERRITORIAL CODE IS THE FIRST ELEMENT OF THE MARK ITSELF, by art. 23, and it denotes the county of REGISTRATION. Romania is therefore unlike Italy (where the province survives only on a removable sticker denoting the holder's residence) and unlike France (where the SIV département band is owner-chosen and decodes to nothing).
How numbers are issued
Not established. Whether the letter triple or the order number advances first, and whether allocation is sequential or pooled, was not sourced, so a Romanian plate cannot be dated from its serial by anything in this file.
Separators
No separator GLYPH is prescribed by art. 23, which names three element groups and no punctuation between them.
