A license plate rule deemed illogical will be abolished

Hungary's Ministry of Science and Technology is abolishing a previously implemented license plate regulation that was deemed illogical. The regulation, which began in July 2022, required new plates to consist of four letters and three numbers, with specific restrictions on the first two characters. Initially, plates started with 'AA', followed by 'AE' in 2023 and 'AI' in 2024, with an annual character change intended for easier identification of vehicle registration periods. However, many combinations were not issued due to this annual change. The ministry has now confirmed that the annual character change will end, allowing for the production of all series from start to finish without needing to amend existing legislation.
