About this plate
THE PLATE MOST SLOVAK VEHICLES STILL CARRY. The instrument says 29 APRIL 2006, vyhláška č.
How the region is encoded
The FIRST LETTER PAIR is the okres in which the vehicle is registered, § 124 ods. 1 zákona 8/2009, second sentence, in force to 31 December 2022. Fixed width, so no maximal-munch rule is needed. TWO CAVEATS THE DECODE FILE CARRIES IN FULL: a plate of this era that survived into 2023 has since been able to cross district boundaries with its vehicle (§ 116 ods. 14), so the decode is a claim about the district of ISSUE and not of current registration; and the codes were reallocated to nothing after the repeal, so an unmatched pair on a plate of this era is unresolved, never invalid.
