Vehicle registration plates of Mongolia

Vehicle registration plate of Mongolia.
Vehicle registration plate of Khövsgöl Province.
Vehicle registration plate of Ulaan Baatar.
Mongolian diplomatic licence plate

Vehicle registration plates of Mongolia consist of four digits (including leading zeroes) and three Cyrillic letters. The design is reminiscent of the Soviet standard for licence plates in the former USSR (GOST 3207-77), some of which had four digits and three letters.

Since 2001, the appearance of plates has changed - these must now contain the national symbol (the "Soyombo") in red, to the left of the numbers, and - between the digits and letters - the Mongolian oval (MNG).[1]

The first two letters of the three-letter suffix indicate the province (or aimag in Mongolian) where the vehicle was registered:
