Permanent Registration's Format
The current format of the registration index consists of three parts, They are:
 * The first two digit numbers are the sequential number of a voivodeship.
 * The second part consists of one, two or three letters or no letters at all. This shows the ongoing series of a voivodeship (Also as a counter of the number of vehicles registered) and/or vehicle classification
 * The third part is a different number of digits. A letter is prefixed when the 4 digit number runs out and then two letters and so on.

This scheme of numbering has some advantages:
 * The voivodeship of registration of a particular vehicle.
 * In the case of a police investigation of an accident or vehicle-related crime, witnesses usually remember the initial area code letters - it is then quite simple to narrow down suspect vehicles to a much smaller number by checking the database without having to know the full number.

Exclusion of some letters in letter series

 * Letters such I and O are not used in letter series in order to avoid confusion with digits 1 and 0.

 * "99 X 9999", "99 X 99999"
