Europe map: license plate country codes
This map shows the country codes used on vehicle registration plates in Europe. According to the Vienna Convention on Road Traffic, cross-border vehicles must display a distinguishing code for the country of registration on the rear of the vehicle. In most European countries, the country code is placed on the left side of the license plate (on the front and back of the vehicle), but it may also be an oval sticker on the back. EU countries issue registration plates in the common EU format, with the EU flag above the country code.
