Vehicle registration plates of Uzbekistan are required for all motor vehicles operating on public roads. Modern Uzbek plates were introduced in 1996, with the current system taking effect in 2009. Plates use a white reflective background with black characters, featuring a regional code, a numeric sequence, and a two-letter series.

The right side of the plate displays the Uzbekistan flag and the international country code “UZ”. Specialised formats exist for government vehicles, military units, foreign diplomats, and temporary registrations. As in many countries, plates must remain fully visible; obstructed or altered plates can result in administrative fines.

The current Uzbekistan license-plate format has two variations. The standard format consists of a two-digit location code, followed by a one-letter series, three digits, and two Latin letters. The alternative format consists of a two-digit location code, three digits, and three final Latin letters. Uzbekistan uses the Latin alphabet on license plates, so only Latin characters appear in all alphanumeric positions. The first two digits indicate the region where the vehicle is registered (for example, 01 for Tashkent City, 10 for Tashkent Region, or 80 for Bukhara Region). After the regional code comes the series letter, which expands the available combinations, then a three-digit serial number, and finally two additional letters completing the registration sequence. On the right side of the plate appear the Uzbekistan flag and the international country code “UZ.”

A different format exists for trailers, which use square reflective plates with four digits at the top, followed by two letters at the bottom. Motorcycles, mopeds, and scooters also use square reflective plates, but their plates display three digits at the top followed by two letters at the bottom.

Vehicles used by certain organisations or categories of persons carry special plates:

Image	Description
	Diplomatic vehicles use plates with white characters on a green background. The plate begins with a letter prefix indicating the status of the vehicle—CMD for ambassadors, D for accredited diplomats, and T for administrative and technical staff—followed by three digits serving as a code identifying the embassy or international mission, assigned according to the order in which diplomatic relations were established with Uzbekistan.
	United Nations vehicles have blue license plates with white characters and border. The “UN” series is issued by authorization of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Uzbekistan). These plates are assigned to personal vehicles of heads of UN missions and specialized UN organizations, their family members, and to official or personal vehicles of accredited UN staff.
	Plates for foreign citizens start with the letter H followed by six digits. They are issued to vehicles owned or rented by foreign citizens and stateless persons who permanently reside in or temporarily stay in Uzbekistan for personal, business, study, or tourism purposes. The plates have a yellow background with black characters and a black border.
	Plates for vehicles owned by foreign companies start with the letter M followed by six digits. They are issued to cars registered to foreign businesses operating in Uzbekistan. The plates have a green background with white characters and a white border.
	Temporary and transit licence plates for exported vehicles with a Т digit in the left part of plate.
	Trailers use square reflective plates with four digits on the top and two letters on the bottom.
	Motorcycle license plates were previously issued for both motorcycles and scooters, but are now issued only for motorcycles. The plate has a white background with black edging, numbers, and letters. The upper right corner displays the territory code, while the lower right corner shows the flag and the letters “UZ.” Only one plate is issued, to be mounted on the rear of the motorcycle.
