Vehicle registration plates of Syria

A Syrian license plate

The Syrian license plates since 1997 have black lettering on a white background. The plate is divided into 4 sections (when viewed from left to right):

• The left-most section: At the top the name of the province in Arabic and below that the registration number (a maximum of 6 digits) in Arabic numerals.
• The vertical strip: Country code SYR is written in Latin script.
• The second vertical strip: "Syria" is written in Arabic script.
• The right-most strip: The same registration number from the left-most area is written in Eastern Arabic numerals
