A wooden board with a hand-ruled red diagonal, six bare digits, and the permit's expiry date printed on its face — the one Korean plate that is neither metal nor embossed.

The one Korean serial with nothing to decode: six bare digits, no hangul, no use category. Identification rides on the face itself — the permit's expiry date, printed on a wooden board, for permits of ten days or less.

## About this plate

THE WOODEN PLATE. For temporary-operation permits of TEN DAYS OR LESS, Article 2(1)'s proviso replaces the 1 mm aluminium blank with a wooden board of 2.5 mm or more, and Article 2(4) excuses it from embossing, the only Korean plate that is neither metal nor raised. Six digits, no hangul in the serial, and the permit's own expiry printed on its face.

## About the format

Digit skeleton only, and this plate has NO hangul serial element at all, six digits alone. What it does carry, printed above the digits, is the PERMIT PERIOD as a date range, e.g. 05.09.05~09.14 까지 ("until"), and the issuing officer's title below.
