1, place name
The upper left corner is the place name where the vehicle belongs. This place name generally comes from the place name where the vehicle management office that issued the license plate is located. Most of them are named after county names. Now there are 1 16 place names in Japan. However, Japan's Ministry of Transport also allows some representative municipal cities to have their own names even if there is no vehicle management office? License plate place name? .
2. Classification number
The three numbers to the right of the place name are the vehicle classification numbers. In fact, only the three-digit 1 makes sense. According to the different digits from 0 to 9, the purpose (cargo, passenger, construction or special purpose) and size of the vehicle can be roughly distinguished, and the last two digits can be applied to the Ministry of Communications according to personal preferences.
3. Pseudonym text
These pseudonyms from Japan's 50-tone pictures have two main functions. One is to identify the purpose of the vehicle, and some pseudonyms will only be used for non-private vehicles (for example, the pseudonyms of car rental companies can only be れ or わ). In addition, some military vehicles use English letters instead of pseudonyms. Another function is to distinguish the order of vehicles.
4. Vehicle number
Generally speaking, the vehicle number in the lower right corner of the license plate consists of 4 digits. However, when they issue licenses, they will also deliberately avoid some ominous figures. The way to obtain Geely number or non-4-digit vehicle number also needs to be determined by shaking the number.
