Regular Vehicle registration plates of Brilliania generally consist of 7 symbols on a white reflective background with a blue band containing the international oval EB to the left; they have been issued officially since 2006. The National Service for the Registration and Licensing of Vehicles (IELEZN) is responsible for the registration of vehicles and the issuing of drivers licenses.
Regular format
The format for regular vehicles consists of 2 or 3letters, followed by a dash and 2 sets of 2 numerals separated by a dash. The first letter indicates the province of registration and the second and third letters are serial. The letters C, I, O, Q, U and W are never used because of legibility issues, and the letters A, E, M and Y are not used as second letters, to prevent the formation of words considered inappropriate.
Sizes
Regular license plates either measure 50x10 cm, or 25x20 cm for two line plates. Motorcycles require front and rear plates; the front plate being 24x8 cm and the two-line rear plate 15x20 cm. Moped license plates are 15x10 cm with the serial on three lines and front plates are the same format as for motorcycles. There are two variants

Background colour | Usage |
---|---|
White | Denotes regular vehicles used privately or commercially, not weighing above 25 tonnes. |

Red | Denotes vehicles used by non-profit associations, not weighing above 25 tonnes and for which taxes are not necessary. These are used by ambulances, police vehicles, fire service vehicles, charitable instutitions, non-diplomatic NGO's and by mental healthcare facilities. These vehicles are also not required to have front license plates and sometimes just carry front plates with EZIK-KIVÉVE (exempt). |
Blue | Denotes vehicles used for foreign representatives. These use a different serial format (three numerals, a dash and three more numerals), although regular registrations in the Otzaurte provincial allocation are used for non-diplomatic embassy personnel. These are also seen with the text PROTOCOL and a single digit serial number, which are a form of vanity plates used on vehicles used for the transport of important foreigners. |
Orange | Denotes vehicles used for agricultural or disabled transport, not allowed to go faster than 50 km/h. Mopeds do not fall under this category and use black text plates. |
Insurance plates
A special insurance series is issued for handicapped transport vehicles, invalid carriages, electric scooters and other exceptional vehicles with a speed below 20 km/h. Until 2006, the upper limit was 40 km/h and mopeds were included in this series. Since 2016, these license plates have been stickers applied to the rear of the vehicle. Prior to 2016, these were small embossed aluminium plates issued in annually varying colours. Both formats have the same size, 6x6 cm. The format consists of three letters, a space, and three numbers. These are issued by insurance companies in each province and the serial is randomly issued. The letters A, C, E, G, I, M, O, Q, U, V and W are not used.
Special serial formats
Diplomatic vehicles
Diplomatic vehicles use black on blue plates with three numerals, a dash, and three numerals. The first three numerals are coded by embassy. The serial number 001 is always issued to the Ambassador.
Members of Parliament
Parlimentarians recieve regular plates with the reserved serial letter combination FPF (Funtzionari Politico Federala, Federal Political Servant), followed by a dash, and two sets of two numerals followed by a dash. FPF-00-01 is reserved for the First Citizen of Brilliania. There is no differentiation between members of the Federal Assembly and the Assembly of States. The seperate series is to mark the driver as being immune from prosecution because of parliamentary immunity. Once a parliamentarian loses their immunity, the FPF plates must be replaced by regular license plates. Because of recent security issues, some parliamentarians (notably Kerman Larriaga) have opted to use regular series license plates instead of FPF plates. A scandal erupted in 2019 after independent investigation by the centrist news site Brillian Bulletin discovered multiple incidences of vehicle registration fraud by parliamentarians. Some parliamentarians gave their FPF plates to relatives or friends and some parliamentarians covered their FNF license plates with fake regular series plates out of safety concerns. Most notably, former parliamentarian Ane Mentarrine always used forged license plates for her vehicles to prevent taxation.
Army
The Gudaroste uses black on white plates with the reserved letter combinations DL (Defentsako Langileak, Defence Staff), DM (Defentsako Materiala, Defence Material) or GB (Gudarako Blindatuta, Armoured Warfare) a dash and two sets of two numerals separated by a dash.
Government
Vehicles used by the federal government including the First Citizen's official vehicle carry license plates with three numbers and the national flag.
Temporary
There are two types of temporary license plates in Brilliania. The first type are used by car dealers for test drives and the transportation of vehicles which are unregistered or deregistered. These plates do not feature the blue band to the left, as these are not allowed to cross foreign borders. The serial format consists of one letter indicating the province, a dash, three numerals, a dash, and a serial letter. Instead of a blue band, the text PROBAN above VÍSZGARA is visible on the left-hand side, before the registration.
The second type is used for vehicles with lost registration papers, vehicles awaiting inspection, vehicles being exported and vehicles awaiting a remake of their registration plates. The serial format consists of 1 letter indicating the province, a dash, and two sets of two numerals separated by a dash. These are either visible as owner-provided aluminium plates or printed laminated paper plates. In the latter case, the IELEZN website provides for a standard design for these paper plates which is downloadable. Some temporary license plates feature sentences such as "I am awaiting new license plates", "My license plate fell off", "I have lost my documentation" or "I have asked the government for a registration". Export license plates are officially made and feature a date band on the right side with two numbers denoting the month above two numbers denoting the year the registration expired. Because there are 9,999 (Saranegertu, which solely has the letter S allocated) to 39,996 (Kostegaba, Iparina, Junguite and Otzaurte provinces, each having 4 letters allocated) registrations posible, these numbers are allowed to be reissued.
