Can license plates contain the letter O?
1 Answers
License plates cannot contain the letter O. There are two main reasons why the letter O is prohibited in license plates: 1. It can be easily confused with the Arabic numeral 0. 2. The letter O is reserved for special use by the public security system. Here is an introduction to license plate numbers: The first character of a license plate number is the abbreviation of the province, the second character is the city code, and the last five characters are randomly composed of Arabic numerals 0-9 and 26 English letters. According to the national standard GA36-2007 "Motor Vehicle License Plates", since the letter O can be easily confused with the number 0, and the letter I can be easily confused with the number 1, these two letters are generally not included in the last five characters of a license plate number.
