There are eight types of vehicle number plates are used in Pakistan.

Each province and territory issues its own number plate; the federal government issues number plates for foreign diplomats and vehicles owned by the military, police and federal departments (red for foreign diplomats and green for the federal government). All number plates use the Latin alphabet.

Punjab
On 1 January, 2007 Punjab began issuing official number plates for all cars registered in Punjab. Number plates are of green and white colour. The green part is the same all over Punjab and has a sign and 'Punjab' written on it, while the white part has the number of the vehicle. The first 2 letters represent the city the vehicle is registered in. Water Marks of Punjab Government visible from 300 angle. For example:
RIZ 3725, is a vehicle registered in Rawalpindi, Punjab. MNA 6762, is a vehicle registered in Multan, Punjab. LEL 06 4520, is a vehicle registered in Lahore, Punjab. (06 represents year 2006)

Sindh
All private plates are yellow with black letters while all the commercial plates are black with white letters and Sindh Government logo on right side. Issued by the Government of Sindh

Pre 1996
Private plates were of the form X-NNNN where 'X' represented an alphabet and 'N' represented a number. All cities issued their own, with the name of the respective city at the bottom of the plate.

Post 1996
After the letters were finished, a new form XXX-NNN was introduced where 'XXX' is a string of alphabets starting AAA and 'NNN' is a string of numbers starting 001, both following a logical order. Although not officially, the alphabet string can be used to correspond to the year the car was first registered with the government of Sindh, e.g. a car with registration AAB-001 would have been first registered in 1996 while one with AFR-001 in 2004.
