Colors:
Black lettering on white background. The new Euro-style plates have a blue vertical
tab on the left side.
On this tab is a circle of 12 yellow stars (indicating the flag of the European Community)
and underneath the circle is the white letter "D".
Seals:
A circular seal is on the plate, showing that the car has passed a
safety test.
The other seal represents insurance and taxes have been paid.
On the old plates this seal is black on silver and shows the coat of arms of the county
where taxes are paid.
XXX = town/county-code(click here to view authentic German codes)
YY 0000 = serial number
There can be one to three X's, one to two Y's and one to four 0's, but not more than eight letters and numerals together.
For example: DGF LC 96
DGF = county of Dingolfing/Landau
LC = the initials of my name
96 = the year the car was purchased
(This plate is somewhat of a vanity-plate since
we have an individuals initials included)
