- ⚪ Standard (White): Regular cars. Format:
A 123 BV 77. - ⚫ Military (Black): Transport of the Ministry of Defense, Russian Guard. The region code there does not mean the city, but the branch of service or military district.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Why does Moscow have so many codes (77, 97, 99, 777)?
Moscow is the region with the largest number of cars. When the combinations of numbers and letters in one series run out (for example, 77), the traffic police introduces a new one (99, 97, 177, 199, 777, 799, etc.). They are all equivalent.
What region are codes 82 and 92?
These are the codes of the Republic of Crimea (82) and the city of Sevastopol (92), introduced in 2014. Previously, code 82 belonged to the Koryak Autonomous Okrug, but was transferred to Crimea due to a lack of numbers.
What kind of region is 94?
These are territories located outside the Russian Federation and served by the Department of Security Facilities of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Basically, code 94 is used at the Baikonur Cosmodrome.
Is it possible to recognize the owner by the number?
No. This service only determines the registration region. The owner's personal data (full name, phone number) is confidential information and is available only to traffic police officers.
