Region code notes
For plates issued before 1 January 2023 the leading pair is the district, as on any Slovak plate of that era; for later ones it is not. The Y is unaffected by the reform, it is a VEHICLE-CATEGORY marker, not a geographic one, and it is the only positional meaning in the Slovak serial that 2023 left standing.
