Regions of Russia: car numbers in accordance with regions

In general, the registration marks of Russia are the standards of 1993, the GOST of which is defined under the number 50577-93. Signs of vehicles of route, military, construction vehicles, diplomatic missions, trailers, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and motorcycles are somewhat different from each other. The article provides information on the differences of signs on different types of vehicles, as well as decoding of auto numbers by regions of Russia.

Standard Rooms

Signs consist of 3 letters and 3 digits. Letters denote the series, and in numbers - the number of the TC. In use, twelve letters are allowed that have analogues in the Latin alphabet. On the right in a separate box there is a flag with the mark RUS and the code value of the region where the vehicle is registered. Previously, the view of the rooms was slightly different from the modern one, as it was manufactured using the technology of the USSR. Then the plate itself was made of steel, and all the symbols on it were stamped, and the flag was absent. Modern technology provides for a background reflective film.

All numbers that are used are registered in a certain region.

In addition to GIBDD, there are other instances that register certain types of vehicles.

Region code

Initially, like the regions of Russia, car numbers coincided with them and were counted from 01 to 89, as they are listed in the first paragraph of the sixty-fifth article of the Constitution. And in 1999 and in 2002 the full code list was fixed by the orders of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

They established that on the signs of the TS belonging to the first type, the first digit of the region should be one. But in 2013, an order was approved by the Ministry of Internal Affairs in Moscow, according to which, in the capital were introduced new three-digit codes starting with the number 7.

However, the number of cars has steadily increased, and some regions of Russia have added car numbers. Also, after the merger of the regions that passed from 2005 to 2008, the issuance of most of the numbers beginning at the eight was stopped.

However, despite the innovations, the previous issues have not been withdrawn, so even Soviet license plates can still be found to this day.

Since the autumn of 2013, registration of the CU was started in a different way. Under the new rules, the number can be saved even if the owner changes. Therefore, the de-registration and staging were replaced by re-registration. Thus, the transit numbers began to be issued only to cars leaving forever abroad. Regions of Russia can now register the vehicle even to an owner who has a permanent registration in another constituent entity of the federation.

Character Types

The order of location and meaning of the signs of the number on a private vehicle has already been discussed above. Therefore, consider signs that are installed on other types of vehicles.

So, for route vehicles, a format of 2 letters and 3 digits is used on a dark yellow reflective background.

Trailers use two letters and four digits. On the trailers of trucks, a sign of registration of the vehicle should also have been duplicated earlier. However, since July 2008 this rule was abolished.

A special plate of square shape was made for mototechnics. The number consisted of two letters located on the bottom line, and four digits - at the top. Also, the region number and the inscription "RUS" were indicated.

A similar sign was also possessed by agricultural machinery, but only without the inscription "RUS". It is registered by Gostehnadzor.

Transit numbers are indicated by two letters, then three digits followed by one more letter. They are made with extinguished luminescence in UV light, and also laminated to protect them from unfavorable weather conditions.

But from the autumn of 2013, amendments to the law were adopted, and their extradition was actually terminated.

Special numbers are issued for cars that leave the country permanently. On the left side they can see a large "T".

Since 2002, special signs have been placed on different vehicles belonging to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. A characteristic feature for them is the blue background and white numbers and letters. For cars make four figures, for trailers - three. A numeric code also denotes a region. But the code "77" indicates the belonging of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in general.

Trade representations of foreign companies, as well as diplomatic representations have a sign on a red background with white symbols.

The first 3 digits of the code and the letter following them indicate the country. In this letter:

• T - means the administrative and technical staff at the diplomatic mission.
• D - the representative or the consul.
• CD is the head of the diplomatic mission.

Military formations also have their own characteristic signs. They are made on plates of black color with symbols of white color. The basic information is on the right. Figures do not mean regions of Russia. The numbers of the cars demonstrate belonging to the military district of the armed forces, to the form or to the federal agency of the Military Information Agency, where military service is provided. Registration of the vehicle is carried out by the VAI.

Earlier, before 2002, special signs were intended for foreign citizens and were intended for transport accredited with the Russian Foreign Ministry or representative offices of banks, firms accredited by ministries and departments.

Also previously issued are privileged signs for civil servants and heads of state companies, public and religious figures. They were called "federal auto numbers," the regions of Russia were not mentioned in them. Instead of the code value, the right-hand square was completely occupied by the flag. The number consisted of a letter, 3 digits and 2 letters.

The first are the regions of Russia, the numbers of which belong to the republics in alphabetical order. So:

• Buryatia - 03.
• Dagestan - 05.

Edge

Most of the territories after the initial adoption of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Order have been amended completely or supplemented. So, Altai - remained the same, 22, and Khabarovsk - 27. And the rest have undergone the following changes:

• Transbaikalian - 75.80.
• Kamchatsky - 41.82.

• Stavropol - 26,126.

Region

Of the forty-six areas, additional auto numbers in the regions of Russia (2014 - source) received only eleven. It:

• Volgograd - 34,134.
• Voronezh - 36,136.
• Irkutsk - 38,85,138.
• Kemerovo - 42; 142.
• Moscow - 50,90,150,190,750.
• Nizhny Novgorod - 52.152.
• Novosibirsk - 54,154.

• Saratov - 64,164.
• Sverdlovskaya 66,96,196.
• Ulyanovsk - 73.173.
• Chelyabinsk - 74.174.

Other areas have only the original auto-numbers.

Regions of Russia (see photo below) have registration marks of the following sizes.

City of federal significance

In Russia there are four cities of federal significance. They adopted the following notation:

• Moscow - 77, 97, 99, 177, 197, 199, 777.
• St. Petersburg - 78, 98, 178.
• Sevastopol is 92, 777.
• Baikonur - 94.

Autonomous Region

All the numbers of the autonomous regions, with the exception of Khanty-Mansiysk, which received an additional value other than 86, and 186, remained the same. It:

• Jewish Autonomy - 79.
• Nenets - 83.
• Chukchi - 87.
• Yamalo-Nenetsky - 89.

So, now you can easily find out the region by auto number. Russia, however, has recently adopted a law allowing the registration of the vehicle in any region and in any traffic police. Therefore, the number is only able to tell about the place of registration of the vehicle, but not about the permanent place of registration of its owner.
