Vehicle registration plates of North Macedonia


North Macedonia's vehicle registration plates consist of a two-letter region code, followed by a 4-digit numeric and a 2-letter alpha code. The standard registration plates dimensions are. There is a blue field on the left side with the international country code for North Macedonia – NMK.
A red and yellow badge appears between the area code and the numeric part, containing the equivalent Cyrillic letters to the four Latin letters. The letters Q, W, X and Y are not used as they have no equivalents in Cyrillic.
Issuance of the new-style Macedonian plates, which introduced a fourth digit and the blue field on the left side, began on 20 February 2012.

Obsolete licence plate codes

Critical reception

The new europlates are criticised from several design experts and the Macedonian public who insist on using hybrid alphabet instead of Latin script. They sent a remark to the constitutional court of Macedonia and the decision is yet to be declared. The "MK"/"NMK" code is also disputed for being placed low. Due to the Macedonia naming dispute, Greece followed a standard policy in which Greek border guards covered the letters "MK" on Macedonian vehicle plates with a sticker, in Greek and English, reading: “Recognized by Greece as FYROM”.
