The squarer plate for American- and Japanese-market cars reads exactly like the long one: region pair, four digits, series pair. Nothing in the serial says non-format — only the shape does.

## About this plate

THE SHORT-AND-TALL PLATE, for vehicles whose plate recess is not the 520 x 112 European oblong, American and Japanese-market cars, in practice. Ukraine solves that case with a distinct SUBTYPE and a distinct geometry rather than with a tolerance, and it is the ONLY Ukrainian plate whose digits and letters have different heights (58 / 40 mm).
