Based on their usage, they can be divided into military and police plates (including military vehicle plates and armed police plates) and civilian vehicle plates. Classification by color: License plate colors include white, blue, yellow, and black. Among them, white represents military and police plates. Blue is for ordinary small vehicles. Yellow is for ordinary large vehicles. Black is used by foreign investors in China or important figures.

General civilian vehicle plates consist of the abbreviation of the province plus the city code followed by five digits (six digits for new energy vehicles), which may also include letters. Armed police plates have the following structure: the first part represents the armed police; the second part is a two-digit abbreviation for the province, autonomous region, or municipality; the third part is a five-digit number, with the first digit representing the armed police sequence; the fourth part starts with the abbreviation of the province, municipality, or autonomous region, followed by four digits, and ends with the type of police.
