CC stands for Cuerpo Consular. A trap for spotters — CC is also the provincial code for Cáceres, so a consular plate is told apart by its digit grouping (CC-123-456), not by its letters.

| `CC` | Cuerpo Consular | consular corps |

## About this plate

OFICINAS CONSULARES, green ground, white characters. COLLISION WORTH FLAGGING for the parse API: "CC" is also the province contraseña for CÁCERES in Anexo XVIII II.A, so the string "CC-1234-AB" is a valid provincial car plate while "CC-12-345" is consular. Disambiguation is by group structure (4 digits + 1-2 letters vs two digit groups), not by prefix.

## How numbers are issued

group 1 is the prefix of the diplomatic mission the consular office depends on; where there is no such dependency a prefix is assigned to the state itself. Group 2 follows the diplomatic rule, or the head of the consular office's proposal where the office is not attached to an accredited mission.
