Vehicle registration plates of the Maldives

The Maldives requires its residents to register their motor vehicles and display vehicle registration plates.

Maldivian license plates always had white font on a black base. Until 1984, they showed a number with up to four digits.[1]

In 1984 an additional graphic was placed behind the number and in 1998 letters were added to the numbers.[2]

The current system was introduced in 2003. Background colour, in combination with the first letter on the left denotes the type of vehicle.
