      This is in an updated map of [this map](https://www.reddit.com/r/MapPorn/comments/1ghsjwi/european_countries_whose_license_plates_provide/). I’ve corrected false informations and added some of your suggestions. The colour pattern was changed because I’ve read in the comments that there were Redditors who couldn’t read the map properly because of their colour blindess.

      Some Redditors stated that microstates should be makred as information being provided because of the size of the country. In first place that seems to be acceptable. But many of the microstates, autonomous and special regions have divided the country into administrative divisions. Therefore the license plates of San Marino, Monaco, Andorra, Guernsey, Jersey, Isle of Man, Liechtenstein and Faroe Islands don’t provide any information about the registered divisions. The only countries and regions which don’t have administrative divisions are Vatican, Gibraltar and Athos. Therefore these three are marked as providing information.

      I’ve introduced a new colour for countries whose license plate provides information about the region first registered in but these are license plates which are bounded to the car itself. So when a car is sold the license plate stays and you can’t really tell if the car is really from the registered region. It could work for small towns or regions but I don’t think it would work for big cities like for example London. For Germany it is a bit different. License plates are not bound to a car or first time registration though but the license plate doesn’t have to be changed anymore when moving to another region.

      Also Slovakia was suggested to be marked as providing information. The system was changed and since 2023 new license plates don’t provide any information about the region although old license plates providing information are still valid.

      I hope the map is accurate now. Also if here are some colour blind Redditors please give me a feedback if the map is readable for you now.

      Last but not least. Here is one more fun fact: In 2013 Ireland changed its 2-digit system to a 3-digit system to avoid the unlucky number 13.

      French license plates have a two digit code for the region and even its logo. Italian used to show the city, now only the province.

      I’m colourblind, map is ok.

      I’m from France, you can chose what region to display on your plate and you can change. So it’s not « no information » but « any information you want ».

      In the Italian license plate there is a two letter code for the province but it’s optional. The majority of people nowadays stopped using them to avoid discriminations.

      In the Italian license plate there is a two letter code in the rightmost euroband for the province code but it’s optional. The majority of people nowadays stopped using them to avoid discriminations.

      As far as if I do remember it right then UK reg plates does not specify letters or numbers about regions or cities..

      It only provides information for the registration of the model year of the car..

      E.g ;

      SA24 MAK

      One plate # for a country. As a very mobile person I have suffered.

      Czechia should be yellow as you don’t have to change the licence plate when reregistering the car.

      Slovakia does show information, at least until recently, to be fair. New plates truly do not show the usual two letters signifying county registration. 

      Most cars on the road still has the old plates with this info, though.

      In Spain only cars with 20 or more years have these plates, since early 2000’s we use European plates that don’t have this information, and I think it was similar in other European countries.

      San Marino provides no information is wild. They do have literally written “repubblica di San Marino” in the plate. And it is basically a village
