Vehicle registration plates of Kazakhstan
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The current format of vehicle registration plates of Kazakhstan uses black letters on a white background with a Kazakh flag and the country code KZ on the left.[1] The two digit area code is located on the square located on the right and the rest of the plate follows the format 111AAA. This format was introduced in 2011 and was implemented from August 2012.[citation needed]

This format of vehicle registration plates of Kazakhstan used black letters on a white background. Each registration plate consisted of a single letter identifying the area and three digits and two letters identifying the non-individual car (for example: A 644 DC) or of a single letter identifying the area and three digits and three letters identifying the individual car (for example: A 643 KCG)[1]
Special registration plates also exist. Cars registered to non-Kazakh individuals and organizations have registration plates with black letters on a yellow background.[2] Diplomatic vehicles use registration plates with white letters on a red background.[1]
