Ukraine license plate, Vanity car (2000 to today), sample 27 OJW

Format, years and the law

Format
99 LLL, for example 27 OJW (L is any letter, 9 any digit)

Only the two small digits mean anything: the numeric region code (11 is Kyiv). Everything else is bought, the owner composes it, within bans on state symbols, obscenity, totalitarian emblems and, since 2023, symbols of the Russian invasion.

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
2000 to today. Still issued.
Vehicle class
Personalized: owner-chosen serials inside an official frame. Issued for car, van, truck, and bus.
Colours
