Vehicle registration plates of Kertosono
All motorized vehicles in Kertosono are required to have vehicle registration plates, displayed at the front and back of the vehicle. The current system, known as the System of Vehicle Identification, is regionally issued by local land-transport offices in coordination with the national road and maritime identification office. All plates are dated plates indicating when the plate expires, and new sets of plates are required to be installed once every five years. Kertic plates only use the 20 letters found in the Kertic abugida.
Format
Almmost all domestically-held plates, including government plates, follow the same SVI format. Service plates (including those issued to the military, police, and other services) differ according to their respective institutes and services. All diplomatic plates follow the same numbering scheme different to that of domestically-owned vehicles.
Kertosono only uses Kertic letters in its registration. Since 2009, it has solely used latin numerals in replacement of the Kertic numerals for increased readability. As a result, it has begun issuing biscriptal plates with transliteration underneath the Kertic letters. Not all sounds in the Kertic abugida are present in the latin script, and its transliterations are merely stand-ins.
