Complete Directory of Russian Regional Plate Codes
Every vehicle registered in Russia carries a regional code on its licence plate that identifies the federal subject where the registration was issued. This directory lists the primary codes for Russia's regions, organised alphabetically by region name, making it easy to look up any plate you encounter.
How to Use This Directory

Tips for Identifying Unknown Codes
- If the code is three digits starting with 1, it is almost always an overflow code for a high-demand region
- Codes in the 80s and 90s are often autonomous okrugs or supplementary series
- Codes 100 and above were introduced after the main two-digit codes were exhausted
