Czech car number plates since 2002 use the standard European size in black characters on a white background. The Euroband with the CZ code has been displayed on the left side of the Czech number plate since 2004. The layout of Czech number plates is divided into two blocks. The first contains a number, a letter identifying the region and a letter or a number. Below this is the vehicle inspection sticker and four numbers in series or a letter and a series of 3 numbers. The layout of Czech number plates varies depending on the region, with the first letter always identifying the region, even on some special number plates.
