South Korea license plate, Non-commercial 8 paint (2019 to today), sample 3760234

Format, years and the law

Format
9999999, for example 3760234 (9 any digit)

The 2019 reform in three digits: class codes 100 to 699 mark a passenger car, a roughly sixfold expansion of the old 01 to 69 space. The syllable after them still comes from the 32 private-use syllables; the last four digits are only a serial.

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