The old system (pre 2000) was of the form XX-NNNN-YY, where XX is a one- or two-letter code denoting the Province the car was registered in, NNNN is a four digit number to make the plate unique, and YY is a one- or two-letter code which is incremented by one place after the four digit number reaches 9999 — for example A-9999-A is followed by A-0000-B. Older cars may use six digits instead of four and two letters, for example A-741923. The province codes used are normally the first one (for provinces containing large cities, such as Barcelona or Madrid ) or two (for more rural provinces) letters of the province name. The new system is the same nationwide, and consists of four digits followed by three letters (except vowels, which are nor permited), for example 8291 BDF. In this system there is no way of knowing where the car was registered. The number plates themselves are white with black lettering, front and back. The European blue bar with the letter E for España is optional on the old system, but compulsory on the new system. |
