'''Vehicle registration plates''' are the mandatory number plates used to display the registration mark of a vehicle, and have existed in Spain since 1900. Most motor vehicles which are used on public roads are required by law to display them. The [[government agency]] responsible for the registration and numbering of vehicles is the [[Directorate General of Traffic]].

==Current system==
Spain has finished using the L-series, the format of which was ''nnnn LLL'' where:
* ''nnnn'' is a sequence number from 0000 to 9999,
* ''LLL'' is a "counter" comprising three letters, which increments after the sequence number reaches 9999. The consonants B, C, D, F, G, H, J, K, L, M, N, P, R, S, T, V, W, X, Y and Z are used for a total of 80 million possible registrations in the system.
* ''L'' see [[#Colour plates|Colour plates]]. It is not used in private vehicles.

This format, introduced on 18 September 2000,<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.sme-matriculas.es/intro2000_n.html|title=Sitio de las Matrículas Españolas - Sistema Actual - Introducción}}</ref> is used nationwide, so there is no way of knowing where the vehicle was registered. The "counter" gives a rough idea of when the vehicle was registered, but is less reliable for determining its age, as imported second-hand vehicles are registered in the same way as new models.

In August 2022 the three-letter counter reached the end of the L-series, and began the M-series, starting MBB. At the current rate of approximately five series per decade, the system will be exhausted around 2040.

The plates themselves are white with black characters, front and back, with a blue strip on the left containing the 12 stars of the [[flag of Europe]] and the [[List of international vehicle registration codes|country identifier]] E (for ''España''). This strip is compulsory. The plates are usually rectangular and wide in shape, but there are also square-like plates for motorcycles, while some cars have a narrow plate inset (such as at the back of the [[SEAT 600]]).

==History==
Two previous systems have been used, both of which were province-based.

=== 1900 to 1970 ===
[[File:Matrícula automobilística da provincia de Ourense 1971 OR 29495.jpg|thumb|Provincial numeric registration plate from [[Province of Ourense|Orense]].]]
The first system, introduced in 1900,<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.sme-matriculas.es/up1.html|title = Sitio de las Matrículas Españolas - Sistema Provincial - Histórico}}</ref> consisted of a letter code denoting the [[Provinces of Spain|province]] the vehicle was registered in (see below for the full list of codes), followed by a sequence number of up to six digits (<code>XXX-NNNNNN</code>). The codes were normally made up of the first one or two letters of the province name or the name of the provincial capital (many provinces are named after their capitals), under the provisions of a 1926 regulation. In the earliest days, some provinces used three-letter codes, but these were abolished after 1926.

This system came to an end in October 1971, by which time both [[Madrid]] and [[Barcelona]] were approaching the number 999999. Older vehicles with such registrations, usually with five- or six-digit numbers, can still be seen on Spanish roads.

In the later years of this system, many plates were white with black characters. Today, there are a few rare cases where the blue EU country identifier strip is also carried, as plates are reissued in new format but with the same number sequence when deteriorated or lost.

=== 1970 to 2000 ===
[[File:Matrícula automovilística España 1971 PO-9385-BH.jpg|thumb|Provincial alphanumeric registration plate from [[Province of Pontevedra|Pontevedra]].]]
The second system used the format <code>XXX-NNNN-YY</code>, where <code>XXX</code> was the province code or a one- two- or three-letter special code (such as <code>ET</code> for army cars and <code>DGP</code> for police cars), <code>NNNN</code> was a sequence number from <code>0000</code> to <code>9999</code> (always four-digit numbers, padded with leading zeroes if necessary), and <code>YY</code> was a "counter" series consisting of one and then two letters, which incremented after the sequence number reached <code>9999</code>.

No "counter" series used the consonants Q and R (and Q has never been allowed in any way, the apparent reason for this being its resemblance to the vowel O and the digit 0), while two-letter combinations ending in the vowels A, E, I and O were also forbidden, apparently to avoid the forming of potentially offensive Spanish words when combined with some province codes (such as <code>MA-LA</code>, meaning "bad one", or <code>CU-LO</code>, meaning "[[arse (disambiguatinon)|arse]]"). This meant that, for instance, <code>Z</code> was followed by <code>AB</code>, while <code>AN</code> was followed by <code>AP</code> and then <code>AS</code>, and <code>PZ</code> was followed by <code>SB</code>.

Other potentially offensive combinations, however, were allowed, such as <code>KK</code> (resembling ''caca'', meaning "[[shit]]") and <code>PN</code> (resembling ''pene'', meaning "[[penis]]"). Also allowed were combinations with potential political connotations, such as <code>HB</code> (cf. [[Batasuna|Herri Batasuna]]) and <code>PP</code> (cf. [[People's Party (Spain)|Partido Popular]]). The only combination that was actually skipped was <code>WC</code> in Madrid and Barcelona. Finally, some otherwise "forbidden" combinations (particularly those containing R or ending in one of the skipped vowels) were exceptionally used in a few particular cases, such as on some special types of cars (e.g. <code>RA</code>, <code>RB</code>... for some police cars, and <code>EA</code> for [[Spanish Air Force]] land vehicles).

This system lasted until January 2000, by which time Madrid was running out of registrations again, its "counter" reaching series <code>ZX</code>. Barcelona reached series <code>XG</code>, while the next province by registration volume, [[Province of Valencia|Valencia]], was far behind at series <code>HJ</code>. Therefore, the allowed combinations <code>ZY</code> and <code>ZZ</code> were never issued in any province.

Under this system, plates usually consisted solely of black characters on white, though the blue EU country identifier strip became an option in the 1990s.

Both systems were susceptible to problems with [[nationalisms and regionalisms of Spain|rivalries between regions]], that caused trouble for drivers travelling out of their provinces or trying to sell their vehicles [[used car|second-hand]]. The second system was also affected when the major [[languages of Spain]] were co-officialized, with the renaming of some provinces resulting in mismatches between the name and the code. For instance, the <code>GE</code> code for Gerona became mismatched when that province was renamed [[Girona]] after [[Catalan language|Catalan]] became official, so it was replaced with the <code>GI</code> code. Similarly, the <code>OR</code> code for Orense was replaced with the <code>OU</code> code for [[Ourense]] (official Galician name for the province). There were also unsuccessful movements to have other province codes changed, such as replacing the [[Asturias]] code <code>O</code> (from its former name after its capital [[Oviedo]]) with <code>AS</code>, this movement being prompted by the rivalry between Oviedo and the province's largest city, [[Gijón]], some of whose residents chose to register their vehicles in Girona, the <code>GI</code> code also being the first two letters of "Gijón". [[La Rioja (Spain)|La Rioja]] code <code>LO</code> (from its former name after its capital [[Logroño]]) was finally slated for replacement with <code>LR</code> on the same day that the current system entered use.

Diplomatic plates are either red, green, yellow or blue and start with the letters "<abbr title="Cuerpo diplomático">CD</abbr>" (red) for diplomatic cars, "<abbr title="Cuerpo consular">CC</abbr>" (green) for consular cars, "<abbr title="Técnicos y administrativos">TA</abbr>" (yellow) for ancillary workers' cars or "<abbr title="Organización internacional">OI</abbr>" (blue) for cars belonging to international organisations. The first set of numbers stands for the embassy or organisation and the second for the specific car from an organisation.

===U.S. military===
Up until 1972 [[United States Armed Forces|U.S. military]] personnel were required to have special plates.

There are other plates with different background colours for [[trailer (vehicle)|trailer]]s and the so-called "tourist plates", provisory plates that allow foreigners to use a vehicle bought in Spain before registering it in their country.
The trailer plates begin with the prefix R signifying ''remolque'', the Spanish word for trailer, caravan or literally "on tow".
The tourist plates begin with the prefix P signifying provisional, usually issued to vehicles for export or until the registration process has been completed.  They are sometimes seen on manufacturer's prototypes.
An additional series exists for historic vehicles with the prefix H followed by four numbers and four letters, making a nine digit plate which can be difficult to fit onto some historic vehicles. [[Moped]]s and [[microcar]]s with cylinders under 50&nbsp;cc were not required to have a national plate and town and city administration tax them and issued their own yellow plates.
