Vehicle registration plates of Guyana
The design for vehicle registration glates of Guyana consist of simple white lettering on a black plate. The format is 2 or 3 letters followed by 4 numbers. The 4 numbers are between 1 and 9999 with no leading zero.
Letter arrangement
The first letter is the vehicle type and are as follows:
- P- Private
- H- Hire/ Taxi
- B- Bus
- G- Goods (powered Trade vehicles)
- C- Cycle
- T-Trailer (Non-powered trade vehicles)
- DPL- Diplomat
Diplomatic plates have black lettering on a yellow plate and dealer plates have red lettering on a white plate.
The series is indicated by the following one or two letters and it indicates the time at which the vehicle was registered. Some letters may be left out to avoid confusion with others e.g. I and Q are skipped. The very first series consisted of a single letter. The second series consisted of two letters (between 1933 and 1970) from PA 1 to PZ 9999. The current series uses three letters where the second letter is repeated. The first registered number in this series would therefore be PAA 1, and after PAA 9999, PBB 1 and so on. The current series as of December 2016 is PWW/GWW/TWW etc..
