> **Draft.** Draft records have not been reviewed yet and may be incomplete or wrong; do not treat them as authoritative for legal or compliance decisions.

Standard registration plate of a car in Kazakhstan in the format used since 2012: three digits, three Latin letters and a two-digit region code, as in 123 ABC 02. The region codes run from 01 (Astana), 02 (Almaty) and 03 (Akmola Region) to 17 (Shymkent); 18 (Abai), 19 (Jetisu) and 20 (Ulytau) were added for the regions formed in 2022. Plates of other vehicle types and of diplomatic missions, and the older plates with a region letter first, have other layouts and are not covered.
