The vehicle registration plates of Cyprus are composed of three letters and three digits (e.g. ''ABC 123''). A simple incremental numbering system is used; numbers run from 1 to 999 per letter sequence (alphabetic), so that, for example, the plate to be issued after ''MAA 999'' would be ''MAB 1''. However, registrants may be allowed to choose a number from available numbers in the extant letter sequence. The exact permitted dimensions of Cyprus plates were similar to their British counterparts, and until 2004, characters were printed in black and in the same typeface as used on British plates. Plates from 2004 onwards are made of metal; between 1973 and 2004, they were made of plastic. A new law on vehicle registration plates came into force on 3 June 2013, altering the design. Plates made before that date are white on the front of the vehicle and yellow on the rear, whereas new plates are white both on the front and the rear and, in addition, carry the month and year the vehicle was first registered in any country. Replacing old plates with new ones has been made mandatory for motorcycles, taxis and lorries. Taxi plates are yellow on both sides and rental car plates are red on both sides, but no longer carry the ''T'' and ''Z'' prefix, respectively. Following Cyprus' entry to the European Union in 2004, plates produced since have a blue band on the left edge with the Union's circle and stars in the top half and the country's international vehicle registration code (CY) in the bottom half and using FE-Schrift as the typeface after 2013, replacing the DIN 1451 typeface previously in use as mandatory. ==Style and numbering== before 1930 * N for Nicosia * S for Larnaca (''Skala'') * P for Paphos * L for Limassol 1930–1950 1950–1956 1956–1973 1973–1990 1990–2003 2003–2013 2013–present 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Vehicle registration plates of Cyprus」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
