Vehicle registration plates of Georgia are composed of an embossed serial of two letters, a hyphen, three numbers, a hyphen, and two letters (e.g. AB-115-BA), in black on a white background with a blue vertical strip on the left.[1] The plates are issued in the Latin alphabet. Georgian registration plates are the same size as the most common European registration plate. All plates have the abbreviation "GE" in the lower left corner of the plate and the national flag in the upper left corner. This set of new style registration plates have been in use since 1 September 2014.[2]

A new, European-style of registration plate was introduced on 1 September 2014. These have sets of two letters first and last (like French and Italian registration plates), with three numerals in the middle. A blue strip on the left contains the Georgian flag and a "GE", and there is a small security hologram on the bottom right.[2] As additional security features, the plates have a watermark-like symbol of the LEPL Service Agency of MIA[clarification needed] of Georgia and a machine-readable data matrix code near the hologram. The old style plates with three letters, a hyphen and three numbers (e.g. ABC-775), in black on a white background, became invalid in September 2020. To accommodate owners of imported North American or Japanese vehicles, a more square styled plate is also available.[2]
