What does the license plate letter W represent?
1 Answers
License plate letter W refers to the prefecture-level city where the vehicle is registered. In Chinese license plates, the Chinese character at the beginning represents the abbreviated name of the province, while the following letters indicate the code for the prefecture-level city. Vehicle license plate numbers mainly consist of: the abbreviated Chinese character of the province, autonomous region, or municipality; English letters representing the issuing authority's code; Arabic numerals from 0 to 9 (10 digits total); and English letters from A to Z (26 letters total). A vehicle's license plate serves as its credential for road use. After purchasing a car, every vehicle must apply for license plates at the vehicle management office before it can be driven on public roads. Before obtaining formal license plates, temporary plates must be used.
