Reads the same as today's plate: region pair on the left (AA is Kyiv), series pair on the right. The 2004 annex also carried one region-free pair — II, "nationwide" — that deliberately decoded to nowhere at all.

## About this plate

THE 2004 PLATE. Same АА 1234 АА grammar as today's, the 2015 change was the BAND and the font, not the serial. The 2004 panel is described by the standard itself and is the reliable way to date a Ukrainian photograph: «зліва у вигляді прямокутника, поділеного на дві рівні частини, верхня з яких блакитного кольору, а нижня лимонно-жовтого, у вигляді напису UА знизу та малого герба України зверху».
