About this plate
THE V PLATE, black on yellow, for a vehicle leaving Slovakia on an individual export, carrying its own printed expiry. § 127 ods. 2 gives it a jurisdictional quirk no other Slovak plate has: a V plate may be issued not only by the police authority for the applicant's residence or place of business but also "orgán Policajného zboru podľa miesta, kde bolo vozidlo prevzaté", the place the vehicle was collected. A decode of its top-line pair therefore points at the COLLECTION district as readily as at the holder's, even before the 2023 reform.
