## About this plate

EXPORT / PROVISIONAL PLATES for vehicles leaving San Marino permanently. Distinguished from every other series by monochrome arms and black characters. Still live and still being amended in 2026.

## Format notes

Decreto 20 febbraio 1990 n. 34 art. 1: provisional plates for vehicles struck off the register "per esportazione all'estero" carry a RED letter E (79 mm high on cars, 53 mm on motorcycles) followed by BLACK digits. This is why E is excluded from the ordinary alphabet, the second functional reservation, alongside R.
