Vehicle registration plates of Serbia display black alphanumeric characters on a white background with blue field placed along the left side edge.

Issuance of current registration plates started on 1 January 2011 and they were used alongside the old ones during the transitional period until the end of 2011.

Standard plates

[edit]

The two-letter regional code is followed by three or four-digit numeric code separated by the Serbian cross shield and a Cyrillic letter combination for the region below, and then followed by a two-letter alpha code, separated by a hyphen.

A blue field is placed along the left side edge, as in European Union countries, bearing SRB (the ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 country code for Serbia).

Numeric code contains combination of three or four digits (0-9), while two letter alpha code is made of combination of letters using Serbian Latin alphabet, with addition of letter X (e.g., BG 123-AA or BG 1234-AA). Since 2017 plates with the special "hooked" letters of the Serbian latin alphabet (Ć, Č, Š, Ž, Đ) as well as letters Y and W are no longer issued.[1] [2] [3]

The standard dimensions of a Serbian license plates are 520.5 × 112.9 mm.

Diplomatic plate

Vehicles operated by foreign embassies, consulates, consular and diplomatic staff and various international organizations have been given plates with a distinguishing format of two (or three) numbers, one letter, three numbers (e.g., 12(3)-L-456). Vehicle owned by a diplomat or by accredited non-diplomatic staff carry a plate with characters printed in yellow on a black background while the vehicle owned by a foreign press agency, a foreign cultural representative or by an office of a foreign company and/or its staff, has plates with characters printed in black on a yellow background.

The first group of three numbers (123) identifies the country or organization to which the plate has been issued, the second group of three numbers (456) is a serial number. The letter in the middle (L) is denoting the status of the owner.

Additionally, plates have vertically orientated two-letter initials in small letters on the left side (after blue stripe) indicating the city in which they were issued (BG for Belgrade) and two numbers on the right side indicating the year for which they are valid (e.g., 12 for 2012).
