Kyrgyzstan edit

Has Kyrgyzstan officially changed its code to KG? Or it still remains KS? Gregori-luxair (talk) 22:11, 18 April 2020 (UTC)Reply

Updated list edit

Is there somewhere an updated official UN list?

Austria edit

"Au"?? Really?? WTF?? I'm changing this to "A" because that is the only thing I've ever seen, and I've seen *hundreds* of "A" stickers on Austrian cars, while they were still in use. --BjKa (talk) 10:04, 10 November 2020 (UTC)Reply

Single-letter codes edit

Part of the reasoning behind code assignments seems to have been that countries whose cars were expected to be most often driven in other counties at the time were assigned the shortest codes, though this hasn't been consistently adhered to. It would be nice if someone could find information on this... AnonMoos (talk) 08:13, 16 May 2021 (UTC)Reply

United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland edit

I just added a note to the GB entry about the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the plans it has to stop using GB and to revert back to using UK in the near future MrFrood2 (talk) 16:42, 5 July 2021 (UTC)Reply

1910 edit

For reference - can this be added to the main article please.

Seems that the early country codes were first added through the "International Circulation of Motor Vehicles 1909" in Paris and later ratified in the UK in 1910. Hence all the countries with 1910 as the date.

ARTICLE 4. - Arrangement of Identification Marks

Annex C has a list of country codes

1926 edit

Additional country codes were added through the "International Convention relative to Motor Traffic" in Paris in 1926.

Oman edit

I might be mistaken but I do believe 'OM' is Oman's official UN road code. Any ideas or further information on that?

Oman does not appear in the UN official list of codes. Mauls (talk) 21:43, 7 June 2022 (UTC)Reply
Cheers! It should be removed then from the list then. Gregori-luxair (talk) 11:08, 27 July 2022 (UTC)Reply

Turkey edit

I live at Turkey,and i can say that it is easy to recognise another countries by looking at plates,not even the blue part (country part), unless it starts with 04,thats RKS (republic of kosovo).All Turkish car plates starts with 2 digits that shows the province's.If it is gonna be 1 to 9,it will still be two digits (starting with 0). Thank you for your time. 95.10.23.152 (talk) 16:40, 21 June 2022 (UTC)Reply

Myanmar edit

Has Myanmar made any official switch with its international road code in 1996 (BUR to MYA) ? Or it still remains BUR?
