Theedish vehicle registration plates (German:Kraftfahrzeug-Kennzeichen or, more colloquially, Nummernschilder) are alphanumeric plates in a standardized format, issued officially by the district authorities to motorized vehicles of Theedish residents.
All motorized vehicles participating in road traffic on public space, whether moving or stationary, have to bear the plates allotted to them, displayed at the appropriate spaces at the front and rear. Additionally, the official seals on the plates show their validity which can also be proven by the documentation coming with them. Motorcycles and trailers carry only the rear plate. The system of number plates used on cars, buses, trucks, trailers and motorcycles is described below. Its most significant feature is the first part, an area code of one, two or three letters which used to tell the district of registration. It has developed into a widespread habit in Theedishland, even a children's game when travelling, to guess “where that vehicle is from”.
