országjelzéssel

Országjelzéssel, often translated as "country code" or "vehicle registration code," refers to alphanumeric identifiers placed on vehicle license plates to indicate the country of origin or registration. These codes are internationally recognized and standardized to facilitate identification of vehicles crossing borders. The most common system for these codes is derived from the 1968 Vienna Convention on Road Traffic, which established a set of three-letter or one-to-three-letter codes for participating countries.

These codes are typically displayed on a small oval sticker or badge, often placed on the rear of a vehicle, separate from the main license plate. For instance, a vehicle registered in Germany would display "D," France "F," and the United Kingdom "GB" or "UK." The purpose is to clearly and quickly identify the nationality of a vehicle for traffic authorities and law enforcement. In some cases, especially within regional blocs like the European Union, the country code might be accompanied by the EU stars insignia, indicating membership in the union. The use of these distinct national identifiers helps in the enforcement of traffic laws, customs procedures, and overall road safety.
