How to Enter Your License Plate Number

Regular License Plates

Enter the letters and numbers that appear on the license plate. There will be up to 7 letters and numbers.

Plates That Start With Vertical Letters

Organizational license plates often have letters arranged vertically in front of the number. These vertical letters are part of the license plate number. If you have a plate with letters in front, enter the vertical part of the plate number first, then the rest of the number.

For example, CAP0000 is the number of this license plate:

Plates That End With Vertical Letters Sometimes the vertical part is after the number. In this case, enter the number first, then the letters top to bottom. Just remember: left to right, top to bottom.

For example, 0000VN is the number of this license plate:
