South Korea license plate, Non-commercial 7 long (documented 2009 to 2019), sample 410739

Format, years and the law

Format
999999, for example 410739 (9 any digit)

Two class digits (01 to 69, passenger car), one private-use syllable, four serial digits. The syllable is the only character that says anything about the owner, private, not for hire, and it is the one field a parser must never guess.

The format above follows the issuing rules: a registration that fits it is one this series could have issued.

Years issued
Documented 2009 to 2019; the format is likely older than the first year documented. No longer issued.
