New license plates in Latvia. Car codes for countries around the world
Vehicle country codes are required to identify the vehicle's state of registration. Previously, a sticker on which the country code was indicated in capital letters served this purpose. The distinguishing sign of the country of registration must be affixed to the rear of the vehicle near the license plate and may also be included in the registration number of the vehicle. If the decal is included in the registration number, it must also appear on the front registration plate of the vehicle.
The distinctive sign may be supplemented by the flag or emblem of the national state or the emblem of the regional economic integration organization to which the country belongs. The insignia must be displayed on the far left or far right corner of the registration plate. If a symbol/flag/emblem is present on the registration number, the decal must be placed at the leftmost position on the registration plate.
Recently, countries have been moving to determine ownership on registration plates. For example, in the European Union countries this code is displayed on the standard vehicle registration number. In this case, the sticker is no longer required.
Nevertheless, there were cases (for example, in Germany) when a fine was issued for its absence. To avoid misunderstandings, even if you do not want to stick it, it is better to take the sticker with you and stick it on request.
According to the Convention on International Traffic, the sticker must be in the form of an ellipse, the main axis of which is horizontal, and the letters must be black on a white background.

Today, all states use specialized license plates for cars. An important feature is that they are significantly different. This applies in particular to European countries.
Dear readers! The article talks about typical ways to resolve legal issues, but each case is individual. If you want to know how solve exactly your problem- contact a consultant:
APPLICATIONS AND CALLS ARE ACCEPTED 24/7 and 7 days a week.
It's fast and FOR FREE!
What they look like
The use of vehicles for personal purposes and their ownership are permitted on the territory of all states without exception.
In European and others, special state numbers are used that carry individual identification information. It must be remembered that these numbers vary significantly in all EU countries without exception.
Previously, all countries that were part of the EU used different registration marks. Moreover, they all had the same purpose. But unified standards for this kind of registration marks were introduced relatively long ago.
They are established by EU Council Resolution No. 2411/98 of November 3, 1998. This resolution came into force on November 11.
The signs of the following countries were used as a model when creating uniform standards:
- Ireland (1991);
- Portugal (1992);
- Germany (1994).
The years are indicated in order to understand the format of the numbers. Since throughout the 20th century, the format of this type of number changed quite significantly in all countries without exception.
It is important to remember the large number of nuances associated with the standards used. If possible, it is worth familiarizing yourself with all of them in advance.
The following main elements are applied to the registration plate itself:
- on the left side there is a star ring on a blue background with the Latin letter “D”;
- Next is a set of letters and numbers - the individual registration number of a specific car registered in the European Union.
The overall dimensions of the type of sign in question are standard. That is why, usually, after transporting cars from EU countries, no difficulties with subsequent installation arise.
To have an idea of what the numbers of European countries look like, it’s worth familiarizing yourself with the examples.
They look like this:
- Austria:
- Ireland:
- Portugal:
- Germany:
Decoding European license plates
It is enough to simply decipher the license plates that are installed on cars in EU countries. At the moment, on the Internet you can easily find a complete set of designations for various types of countries.
The full list of designations on EU license plates is reflected in the following regulatory documents:
- Geneva Convention on Road Traffic - from 1949;
- – 1968.
At the same time, a fairly large number of codes coincide with those indicated in the international regulatory document ISO 3166-1. It is also important to remember that there are quite a large number of unofficial codes.
Similar ones are not used in EU countries, but are used by various unrecognized republics and other territorial associations.
Each country is assigned its own individual number. It should be remembered that when traveling to EU countries in your own car, which has a Russian license plate, you must affix a sticker with the corresponding letter designation (RUS) to the car body.
At the same time, traveling abroad itself has a large number of nuances and features. You will need to familiarize yourself with all of them in advance. This way you can avoid the occurrence of a variety of difficulties.
Car codes for European countries
European car license plates are equipped with special codes, depending on the country in which the specific car was registered.
Today the EU includes countries with the following designations:
Austria A Belgium B Bulgaria B.G. Great Britain G.B. Hungary H Germany D Greece GR Denmark DK Ireland IRL Spain E Italy I Cyprus C.Y. Latvia LV Lithuania LT Luxembourg L Malta M.T. Netherlands NL Poland P.L. Slovakia S.K. Slovenia SLO Portugal P Romania R.O. Finland FIN France F Croatia HR Czech CZ Sweden S Estonia EST European license plates by country must be provided with special numbers and letters. There is a fairly large number of different nuances associated with such designations.
How to attach
The fastening of the number plate of the type in question is carried out in a standard manner, almost completely corresponding to the process of fastening the number plate in the Russian Federation.
Today there are several methods for installing this kind of state-type identification marks on a car:
- using bolts, on standard landing marks;
- by through drilling;
- on self-tapping screws.
The optimal solution would be to use regular bolts for mounting the license plate. You can purchase such hardware at any hardware store.
Almost all cars without exception are equipped with standard pre-fabricated holes in a specially adapted location on the bumper. It will be enough to arm yourself with a pair of keys and a screwdriver for installation.
The bolt goes right through the number plate, number frame, and a special mounting surface. After this, the back side is screwed using a nut and washers.
There are also criminal elements associated with number plate theft in the EU. It is for this purpose that all kinds of special fastening methods are used. This allows you to reduce the likelihood of number theft to a very minimum.
One such method is through-drilling the bumper. This will allow you to secure the number in such a way that in the absence of a lift, special tools and time, it will be virtually impossible to remove the number.
The only option is a grinder. As practice shows, criminals rarely have such tools with them.
A special tool is also often used to install rivets. You can purchase it yourself to carry out the fastening procedure (its cost is low) or contact a specialized workshop.
There are quite a large number of different alternative options. It is possible to use long screws as hardware. But such fasteners are not reliable enough.
Nylon clamps are often used. They are used to fasten the number frame to the number itself.
This kind of procedure allows you to reduce the likelihood of accidentally losing your number. But at the same time, this method of fastening still will not protect against fraudsters who steal license plates.
There is a certain list of requirements for the license plate itself. A special standard does not allow changes to the design.
Currently it is prohibited in the EU:
- change the overhangs of the front and rear corners of the car using a license plate (as well as other structures);
- In no case should the license plates themselves cover the light and signal elements with their plane or protrude beyond the dimensions of the car;
- The license plate itself should not be drilled; standard mounting holes must be used.
The EU sets certain standards for the location of the license plate within 4 planes.
The following specific standards are established:
Under no circumstances is it allowed to use various types of elements that obscure the information reflected on the number. And this also applies to fastening elements. The heads of screws, bolts or other components must be colorless.
The use of all kinds of reflective components is prohibited. A complete list of all actions prohibited by law is reflected in special documents of the European Union. It is important to remember that they apply to almost all countries without exception.
Old numbers that do not comply with EU standards are only used in the UK and some other EU entities. The reason for this is the special conditions for joining this conglomerate.
The situation is similar with the standards that apply to mounting a license plate on a vehicle body. They are different for the UK and other countries in the same position.
Responsibility in the EU and other European countries for lack of numbers
If you need to travel in your own car to EU countries, you must make sure that you have a license plate on your vehicle.
Moreover, the very fact of his presence is important. After crossing the border of the Russian Federation, the features of fastening the license plate and other points will not be important.
It is only required that there are no problems with reading information directly from the number. Otherwise, the road inspector will issue a fine for an administrative violation.
As you know, at present the criminal situation in Moscow remains quite difficult, and many car enthusiasts from the Baltic countries are faced with this first-hand. Among the state registration numbers of Russia, Latvian license plates visually stand out, which is why they are stolen more often than others. It’s better to think about proactive steps in advance! In our company you can order duplicate Latvian license plates, which will guarantee your peace of mind and confidence in any unforeseen situation on the road.
Also, duplicate Latvian license plates may be required by vehicle owners if the license plate is damaged or lost on the route Latvia - Moscow.
Don't panic: what to do to restore Latvian license plates
To restore Latvian license plates instead of those that were stolen, you only need one phone call! Our employee will accept your application, complete all the necessary documents and set the exact time when you can receive your lost or stolen license plates.
The production of license plates takes place on a legal basis; the company has all the permits. To make any Latvian numbers, we will need no more than 15 minutes.

The quality of a car is not a very correct expression. Look at the condition of the car:
1. Mileage;
2. What is the condition of the components (engine, belts, etc.);
3. Who went;
4. How we went;
5. Check the history of the car;
6. Legal issues to clarify;
7. Vehicle mileage;
8. How many owners has it changed....
There are a lot of nuances. It is better to buy from official dealers. You can come to the official VOLVO office and ask them about a used car. Every dealer also has used cars for sale.It is possible if the turn signal is original. Many American cars do this without problems; I have two myself))
In your situation, it would be logical to turn to Estonia for help.
I think it's possible. But it is better to write letters with this question to Latvian insurance companies
Cheaper than ours, the main thing is to inspect the car very well when buying (especially the body), otherwise you can end up with a car welded from parts (this means they took pieces from broken cars and welded them into one whole) =) this is often found there, and no matter how much it costs car, you can buy shit for 10,000 euros.
a lottery from Lithuania is no different from a lottery from any other country
Generally not possible. You buy a car there... they give you transit numbers... you go here, re-register it and it’s yours, only with LR plates.
Previously, you could ride until the hell out of you.
A Lithuanian citizen can drive a car with Lithuanian license plates here for no more than 3 months. Well, you can also drive if a Lithuanian is sitting next to you.
And this is all because of raising the car tax.You don’t have to listen to the previous speaker at all, I don’t remember exactly, but you need Lithuanian transit numbers and insurance for them, something in the region of 40 - 60 lats, but in Lithuania this is done for litas, then it all depends on the year and volume car engine. The saddest thing is if the volume is more than 3 liters, hang yourself, the environmental tax will be from 450 hp, the M3 3.2 of 1998 had this, plus everything else in the region of 250 hp!
You go to the CDD and register!
