Format, years and the law

9999999, for example7001234(9 any digit)A leading 7 means bus or van (700 to 799), 8 means goods (800 to 979), 980 to 997 special, and 998 to 999 an emergency vehicle. These ranges only opened on 1 November 2021, so a three-digit code starting 7, 8 or 9 dates the plate sharply.
The format above follows the issuing rules: a registration that fits it is one this series could have issued.

- About this plate
- THE HALF OF THE REFORM NOBODY REPORTS. Buses, goods vehicles and special vehicles did NOT get three-digit class codes in 2019, comparing the Article 5(1) tables of 고시 제2019-423호 and 제2021-1084호 shows them still on 70-79 / 80-97 / 98,99 through 2021 and moving to 700-799 / 800-979 / 980-997 only on 1 November 2021, when a 998-999 emergency- vehicle range (police cars, fire appliances) was created at the same time. A three-digit code beginning with 7, 8 or 9 therefore dates a plate to November 2021 at the earliest, which is a sharper age signal than the 1-6 passenger range gives.
- About the format
- Digit skeleton only; printed mark is 700가1234 for a private bus, 800가1234 for a private goods vehicle. See the SCRIPT LINE header.
