Chinese licence plates: what the characters and colours mean
Facts checked
A Chinese plate is two facts and a serial number: a character for the place that registered the car, a letter for the office that issued it, and a colour that says what kind of vehicle it is. Once those three are readable, every plate in a street photograph tells you something.
The colours
| Colour | Vehicles | In use since | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Blue (white characters) | Ordinary small vehicles: cars under 6 m long carrying nine people or fewer, light goods vehicles under 4.5 t, and mopeds (light motorcycles). | 1992 | The default plate and the one most people picture. Introduced with the 1992 series, trialled in Ürümqi and Daqing and rolled out nationwide from July 1994. Since 1 November 2007 blue plates are also issued to foreign-owned cars, which previously took black ones. The hex value is an approximation for screen use. GA 36-2018 defines plate colours by chromaticity coordinates and luminance factor, not by an RGB value, and printed and reflective plates vary. |
| Yellow (black characters) | Large vehicles: cars over 6 m long or carrying more than nine people, goods vehicles over 4.5 t, trailers, ordinary motorcycles above 50 cc, driving-school and test vehicles, low-speed and farm vehicles. | 1992 | Size, not fuel, decides the colour: a stretched limousine over 6 m wears a yellow plate and needs an A1 licence to drive. Learner cars add 学, test vehicles 试 and trailers 挂 as the final character. Large vehicles also carry an enlarged repeat of the number painted on the rear. The hex value is an approximation for screen use. GA 36-2018 defines plate colours by chromaticity coordinates and luminance factor, not by an RGB value, and printed and reflective plates vary. |
| Gradient green (black characters) | Small new-energy vehicles — battery-electric, plug-in hybrid and fuel-cell cars within the small-vehicle size limits. | 1 December 2016 | Piloted from 1 December 2016 in Shanghai, Nanjing, Wuxi, Jinan and Shenzhen; extended to twelve more cities including Baoding, Changchun, Fuzhou, Qingdao, Zhengzhou, Zhongshan, Liuzhou, Chongqing, Chengdu and Kunming from 20 November 2017; 107 cities across all 31 provincial-level divisions by the end of December 2017; nationwide in the first half of 2018. The design shades from near-white at the top to leaf green at the bottom and carries a green roundel with a plug and a stylised E. The first issued plates were 苏A·D09999 (Nanjing), 苏B·D00100 (Wuxi), 沪A·D00806 (Shanghai), 粤B·F03030 (Shenzhen) and 鲁A·D11111 (Jinan). The hex value is an approximation for screen use. GA 36-2018 defines plate colours by chromaticity coordinates and luminance factor, not by an RGB value, and printed and reflective plates vary. |
| Yellow-and-green split (black characters) | Large new-energy vehicles — electric and other new-energy buses, coaches and heavy goods vehicles. | 1 December 2016 | Two blocks of colour, not a gradient: the province character and issuing letter sit on yellow, the six-character number on green. It marks a vehicle that is both large and new-energy, so it reads as the yellow plate and the green plate at once. The hex value is an approximation for screen use. GA 36-2018 defines plate colours by chromaticity coordinates and luminance factor, not by an RGB value, and printed and reflective plates vary. |
| Black (white characters) | Historically foreign-owned cars and vehicles of joint ventures and foreign-invested firms; today embassy (使) and consular (领) plates, and Hong Kong and Macau cross-border plates (粤Z … 港 / 澳). | not published | Black plates stopped being issued to foreigners and foreign-invested companies on 1 November 2007 — the scheme was judged discriminatory and those cars now take ordinary blue plates, though some provinces still issue them a distinct number block. Existing black plates were not recalled. Diplomatic and cross-border plates were not affected and are still black. The hex value is an approximation for screen use. GA 36-2018 defines plate colours by chromaticity coordinates and luminance factor, not by an RGB value, and printed and reflective plates vary. |
| White (black characters, red device) | People's Police vehicles (red 警), People's Armed Police (red WJ), People's Liberation Army vehicles (red unit letter), and the national fire and rescue service (red 应急 on the front plate). | not published | White is the state-service ground. Police plates carry a red 警 as the last character; armed-police plates open with a red WJ; military plates carry a red prefix letter. Fire and rescue plates, in use since December 2018, adopted the new-energy plate's 480 × 140 mm size and typeface with 应急 ('emergency') at the end. The hex value is an approximation for screen use. GA 36-2018 defines plate colours by chromaticity coordinates and luminance factor, not by an RGB value, and printed and reflective plates vary. |
| Green, solid (white characters) | Tractors and farm machinery, and vehicles that work inside a fixed site — factories, scenic areas, ports and airports. | not published | A separate solid green, not the new-energy gradient, and easy to confuse with it in photographs. Airport ground vehicles carry 民航 ('civil aviation') where the province character would be; port vehicles carry the port's name. These plates do not license a vehicle for ordinary public roads. The hex value is an approximation for screen use. GA 36-2018 defines plate colours by chromaticity coordinates and luminance factor, not by an RGB value, and printed and reflective plates vary. |
The chips beside every brand, group and model on this site use the same three colours, and they mean the same things: blue for a combustion-era maker, the green gradient for an electric-native one, yellow for lorries and buses.
The formats
| Format | Pattern | Example | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard civilian plate (7 characters) | [province character] + [issuing-office letter] + [5 digits or letters] | 京A·12345 · 苏E·1P234 · 浙B·AB987 | The 1992 series, still current. One simplified character for the provincial-level division, one Latin letter for the issuing vehicle-administration office (usually a prefecture-level city), then five characters. I and O are kept out of the five to avoid confusion with 1 and 0 — the surviving provincial O series are the exception, and they are police blocks. Letters were pushed into the serial as cities outran the 100,000 combinations that all-digit numbers allow; GA 36 sets the order in which letter positions may be opened, and a province may move to the next pattern once 60% of the current one is used, with provincial public-security approval and notice to the Ministry of Public Security. The plate measures 440 × 140 mm. |
| Small new-energy plate (8 characters) | [province character] + [issuing-office letter] + [energy letter] + [5 digits] — or + [energy letter] + [1 letter] + [4 digits] | 沪A·D00806 (battery-electric) · 粤B·F03030 (plug-in hybrid) | One character longer than an ordinary plate, and the extra character does the work: on a small vehicle the first character of the serial states the energy type. D is issued first for battery-electric cars, then A, B, C and E as each block fills; F is issued first for other new-energy cars — plug-in hybrids and fuel-cell vehicles — then G, H, J and K. Later blocks (P, Q, R, S, T for battery-electric; L, M, N for the rest) are held in reserve, and Chinese Wikipedia reports that Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen began issuing P during 2026 as the earlier letters ran out — a claim we have not matched to a published public-security notice. Chinese Wikipedia also reports a trailing Z marking self-driving vehicles; likewise unconfirmed here. The plate measures 480 × 140 mm and uses a narrower typeface than the blue plate. |
| Large new-energy plate (8 characters) | [province character] + [issuing-office letter] + [5 digits] + [energy letter] | 京A·12345D (battery-electric) · 京A·12345F (other new energy) | The mirror image of the small plate: on a large vehicle the energy letter goes last, not first. D is battery-electric, F is other new energy. The ground is yellow under the province character and green under the number. |
| Motorcycle plate | [province character] + [issuing-office letter] on the upper line, [5 digits or letters] on the lower line | 沪C over 54321 | Roughly square rather than banner-shaped, with the province character and letter above and the number below. Blue for mopeds of 50 cc or less, yellow for ordinary motorcycles; learner motorcycles carry 学. Since the 2014 revision of the standard motorcycles carry only a rear plate — the front plate was dropped. |
| Trailer plate | [province character] + [issuing-office letter] + [4 digits or letters] + 挂 | 京A·1234挂 | Yellow with black characters, fitted to the rear of the trailer only. 挂 guà means 'to hang' — the trailer is what is hung on the tractor unit. |
| Driving-school (learner) plate | [province character] + [issuing-office letter] + [4 digits or letters] + 学 | 京A·1234学 | Yellow with black characters whatever the size of the car. 学 xué means 'study'. Driving schools run separate plates for teaching cars and for examination cars. |
| Test plate | [province character] + [issuing-office letter] + [4 digits or letters] + 试 | 京A·0001试 | Yellow with black characters, for vehicles used in manufacturer and type testing. 试 shì is short for 测试, 'test'. |
| Temporary plate | [province character] + [issuing-office letter] + [digits], on paper | 京A·12345 on a printed card | A paper plate taped inside the windscreen, usually valid for 15 days, for a car that may legally be driven but has not yet been registered. Until 1 May 2022 a blue temporary plate was valid only inside the issuing administrative area and a dark-red one allowed travel beyond it; from that date a single blue design covers both, and older plates lost their area restriction. Oversize and abnormal-load vehicles carry 超 (chāo, 'exceeding') as the last character. |
| Temporary-entry plate for foreign-registered vehicles | paper plate marked 临时入境 with the permitted route printed below | 临时入境 plate issued for a cross-border coach or self-drive tour | Issued to foreign-registered vehicles entering China for a limited period, for example international coach services and organised self-drive tours. It does not apply to Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan vehicles, which have their own arrangements. A visiting head of state's own car is registered on that country's embassy plate rather than on a temporary-entry plate. |
| Embassy plate (使) | [3-digit mission code] + [3 sequential digits] + 使 | 224·001使 — the United States ambassador's car (224 is the code for the United States) | Black with white characters, issued only in Beijing, where all the embassies are. The first three digits identify the country or international organisation; 3xx codes and the x59 range belong to international organisations. The last three run in sequence, with 001 normally the head of mission's car and 002–005 usually reserved for official use. Under the Regulations on the Administration of Diplomatic Vehicles in force from 9 January 2017 the character 使 turned from red to white and moved from the front of the number to the end; the numbers themselves did not change, and all plates were swapped by 1 May 2017. China does not publish the full code list, so published tables can be incomplete or wrong. |
| Consular plate (领) | [province character] + [3-digit mission code] + [2 digits] + 领 | 闽204·01领 — pattern illustration for a Singapore consular car in Fujian, not a real registration | Black with white characters, for consulates outside Beijing. Since the 2017 rules the province character is followed not by a city letter, as on a civilian plate, but by the same national code the embassies use — Xiamen's consular cars, for example, stopped being 闽D plates in April 2018. 京 never appears on a consular plate because Beijing hosts embassies rather than consulates, and Tianjin is the one municipality with no consular plates of its own. |
| People's Police plate (警) | [province character] + [issuing-office letter] + [4 digits or letters] + 警 | 京A·0001警 · 川A·A001警 (a court vehicle) | White with black characters and a red 警 ('police') at the end. A 9 in the first of the four places marks traffic police. A letter in that place marks a department other than the public-security organs: A courts, B procuratorates, C state security, D judicial administration. Cars on these plates must be painted white above and blue below with the issuing body's name on the doors. Separately, the civilian-numbered 省O blocks were long used as unmarked police plates; most provinces have withdrawn them. |
| People's Armed Police plate (WJ) | WJ + [province character] + [4 digits] + [branch letter] | WJ沪·1234X — a firefighting vehicle in Shanghai | White with black characters and a red WJ, the pinyin initials of 武警 wǔjǐng. In the 2012 series the province character identifies the region and the final letter the branch of service. The 2004 series instead used two digits after WJ for the region and a letter or digit for the branch. A new series was adopted on 1 October 2019, matching the army plates in appearance and dimensions. Making, selling or using armed-police or military plates without authority is a criminal offence in its own right. |
| People's Liberation Army plate | [red prefix letter] + [letter] + [5 digits] (4 digits on motorcycles) | VA·12345 | White with black characters; on the front plate the prefix, the letter and the separator are red, on the rear plate only the prefix. The 2013 arrangement identifies the arm by a red Latin letter: V for the Central Military Commission (VA Commission, VB political work, VC logistic support, VD equipment development), K air force, H navy, B the Beijing garrison. Before 2013 the prefix was a Chinese character — 军 for the Commission and army-grade units and above, 北 沈 兰 成 济 南 广 for the seven ground-force military regions, 海 for the navy and 空 for the air force. Counterfeiting is common enough that the army periodically runs seizure campaigns. |
| Hong Kong and Macau cross-border plate (粤Z) | 粤Z + [4 digits or letters] + 港 or 澳 | 粤Z·7C59港 | Black with white characters, issued by the Guangdong provincial public security department to Hong Kong- and Macau-registered vehicles cleared to drive into the mainland. It normally permits travel only within Guangdong; going further needs separate approval. Non-operating vehicles use 1111, A111, 11A1 and 111A patterns before the suffix; operating vehicles use 1A11 and AA11. Vehicles in the Northbound Travel schemes for Hong Kong and Macau cars do not need one. Such a car commonly carries its home plate and the mainland plate at the same time. |
| Emergency-rescue plate (应急) | [province character] + [service letter] + [4 digits] + 应急 | 鄂X5132应急 · 鄂S2256应急 | Adopted at the end of 2018 for the national fire and rescue service when it was moved out of the armed police. White with black characters and 应急 ('emergency') at the end; the service letter is red on the front plate and black on the rear. Only two letters are in use — X for the fire and rescue service and S for the former forest fire service, which merged into it in January 2023. The plate uses the new-energy plate's 480 × 140 mm size and typeface but a different letter spacing. |
| Tractor, in-plant, airport and port plate | [province name or site name] + [letter or digits] + [5 digits] | 北京A-00001 (tractor) · 民航A·A0125 (airport) · 连港·A0018 (port) | Solid green with white characters. Tractors use a two- or three-character form of the province name rather than the one-character abbreviation. Airport ground vehicles carry 民航 ('civil aviation') and port vehicles the port's name in place of the province character. Airport plates are the one place the letter I is allowed. |
Special series
| Series | What it means |
|---|---|
| 使 (shǐ) — embassy | Marks an embassy or an international organisation's mission. Black plate, six digits and the character 使 at the end; the first three digits are the country or organisation code. Issued only in Beijing. Since the 2017 diplomatic vehicle rules the character is white and comes last; before that it was red and led the number. |
| 领 (lǐng) — consulate | Marks a consular post outside Beijing. Black plate, the host province's character, the same three-digit national code the embassies use, two more digits, and 领 at the end. Consular cars in Xiamen, for instance, stopped carrying 闽D numbers in April 2018. |
| 学 (xué) — learner and driving-school vehicle | Final character on the yellow plate of a driving-school car, coach or motorcycle. Driving schools issue different plates for teaching cars and for examination cars. |
| 警 (jǐng) — police | Final character, printed in red, on the white plate of a People's Police vehicle. A 9 in the first serial position marks traffic police; A, B, C and D there mark courts, procuratorates, state security and judicial administration. |
| 挂 (guà) — trailer | Final character on the yellow rear plate of a trailer. The word means 'to hang'. |
| 试 (shì) — test vehicle | Final character on the yellow plate of a vehicle used for manufacturer or type testing, short for 测试 cèshì, 'test'. |
| 超 (chāo) — oversize / abnormal load | Final character on the paper temporary plate of a specially shaped or oversize vehicle. The word means 'exceeding'. |
| WJ — People's Armed Police | The pinyin initials of 武警 wǔjǐng, printed in red at the start of an armed-police plate. The 2012 series follows WJ with a province character, four digits and a branch letter; a redesigned series matching the army plates took effect on 1 October 2019. |
| 应急 (yìngjí) — emergency rescue | Final two characters on the white plate of the national fire and rescue service, introduced by a State Council General Office notice of December 2018. Service letters in use: X for fire and rescue, S for the former forest fire service. |
| Military prefix characters and letters | Army plates carry a red prefix. Since 2013 it is a Latin letter — V for the Central Military Commission (VA, VB political work, VC logistic support, VD equipment development), K air force, H navy, B Beijing garrison. Before that it was a Chinese character: 军 for the Commission and army-grade units and above; 北 (Beijing), 沈 (Shenyang), 兰 (Lanzhou), 成 (Chengdu), 济 (Jinan), 南 (Nanjing) and 广 (Guangzhou) for the seven ground-force military regions; 海 for the navy; 空 for the air force. The military regions were replaced by five theatre commands in 2016, so the character prefixes are historical. |
| 民航 (mínháng) — civil aviation | Replaces the province character on the green plate of a vehicle that works inside an airport. Port vehicles use the port's name the same way. These plates do not license a vehicle for ordinary public roads. |
| 港 and 澳 — Hong Kong and Macau cross-border suffixes | Final character on the black 粤Z plate a Hong Kong (港) or Macau (澳) vehicle needs to drive into the mainland. The plate is issued in Guangdong and is normally valid only there; the vehicle keeps its home plate as well. Cars in the Northbound Travel schemes do not need one. |
| The provincial O series (省O) | A civilian-numbered block — the province character followed by the letter O — used from the 1990s for public-security and government cars, which in practice enjoyed right of way and light enforcement. It is the reason O appears at all in a system that otherwise excludes it, along with I, to avoid confusion with 0 and 1. Heilongjiang abolished its series first, in 2003; by 2014 twenty-two provincial-level divisions had followed; Shandong's lapsed in 2019 and Gansu converted its roughly 6,400 plates to ordinary civilian numbers in 2013. Guangdong still runs 粤O for provincial agencies under police-plate rules, and Qinghai has gone the other way and released 青O to ordinary drivers in Xining. |
| Letters I and O are not used in the serial | To keep plates readable at speed and to machines, the five (or six) characters after the issuing letter never use I or O, which would be read as 1 and 0. The exceptions are the provincial O issuing series described above and airport ground-vehicle plates, which do allow I. |
| Beijing's plate lottery | Beijing has rationed new passenger-car registrations by lottery since 2011. Applicants — individuals, families and organisations — register with the municipal passenger-car quota system, are checked for residence and for not already holding a Beijing plate, and are entered into periodic draws for a quota that is split between conventional and new-energy vehicles; new-energy quota is issued by waiting list rather than by chance. Winning gives the right to register a car, not a particular number. The site's plate-lottery guide covers the mechanics. |
| Shanghai's plate auction | Shanghai rations conventional (blue) plates by monthly auction rather than by lottery — the quota is bid for through the Shanghai Municipal Commission of Transport's platform, and winning bids have run around the price of a small car. Applicants must hold a Shanghai residence permit, show a year of local social-insurance or tax payments, hold a full Chinese licence, own no other Shanghai-plated car and have a clean recent record. New-energy cars were exempt from the auction, which is a large part of why Shanghai's streets carry so many green plates; plug-in hybrids lost the free-plate entitlement for purchases from 1 January 2023. Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Hangzhou and Tianjin run their own quota schemes, mixing lottery and auction. |

The plate decoder takes a prefix — written in characters or in pinyin — and gives back the province, the city and the colour rules.
Chinese plates: questions people ask
- What does the first character on a Chinese licence plate mean?
- It is the abbreviation for the province, municipality or autonomous region that registered the vehicle — 京 (Jīng) for Beijing, 津 (Jīn) for Tianjin, 冀 (Jì) for Hebei. Most of these characters are classical names for the region rather than part of its modern name.
- What does the letter after the province character mean?
- It is the issuing authority inside that province. A is the provincial capital in almost every case; the remaining letters run roughly in order of the prefecture's rank when the series was assigned.
- Why are some Chinese plates green?
- A green plate marks a new-energy vehicle. It carries eight characters instead of seven and uses a white-to-green gradient, so an electric car can be told from a petrol one at a glance.
- Can a foreign visitor drive on a foreign plate in China?
- No. A vehicle used on Chinese roads carries a Chinese registration, and the driver needs a Chinese licence or a temporary permit. The driving guide sets out how that is obtained.
