About this plate
Embassy staff enjoying diplomatic immunity, letter groups CD and CM (Madde 55 para 4). The four-digit width is the regulation's OWN range text in Madde 58: leased-vehicle allocations run CD 0001-CD 9999 and CM 0001-CM 9999, on written proposal of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs with Ministry of Interior approval, on a reciprocity basis, and are returned at expiry. Those are statutory RANGES, not observed plates. CORRECTION OF RECORD: an earlier draft of this file gave three digits here on tertiary evidence. The statute says four.
About its years
2007 = RG-18/05/2007-26526, the amendment that set the CD/CM colour rule in Madde 56. The groups themselves are older; this is the date of the instrument that governs the entry, not a first-issue date.
Legal basis
Maddeler 55, 56 and 58 all repealed 2025-11-04 (RG 33067).
