Deciphering number plates: Poland

The current system of number plates has been in place since 2000 and was a response to a change in how Poland is distributed territorially. Today’s Polish registration numbers have seven to eight characters, which are separated into two groups by a space. The first group contains two to three letters and indicates the territorial jurisdiction of the vehicle’s owner. The second group comprises four to five characters, of which up to two may be letters representing the series of the registration number.
