Ukraine license plate, DSST (2025 to today), sample Y 88012

Format, years and the law

Format
L 99999, for example Y 88012 (L is any letter, 9 any digit)

The lone letter is D, С or О, marking the Державна спеціальна служба транспорту (special transport service) or Держспецзв'язок (special communications). The order assigns three letters to the two services and never says which is whose.

The format above is broad: a registration that fits it has the right shape, which does not show that this series issued it.

Years issued
2025 to today. Still issued.
Vehicle class
Military: armed-forces registration systems. Issued for car, van, truck, bus, trailer, and machine.
Colours
