Idle in traffic jams, drivers involuntarily begin to pay attention to various trifles, trying to pass the time. Many, for example, look at license plates. What can this or that combination of numbers and letters mean?
The usual Russian car number consists of two sections: main and additional (on the right). In the latter, a two- or three-digit code is stamped, by which you can easily determine from which region of the Russian Federation this or that car arrived (for example, the number 62 means that the car is from the Ryazan region), while the letters RUS mean the country where the car was registered.
License plate format
The main part of the number has the following form Y XXX YY, where X are the numbers from 0 to 9, and Y are the letters of the Russian alphabet. The latter, by the way, are not used by all, but only those that have analogues in the Latin alphabet, that is, A, B, E, M, K, H, O, P, C, U, T, X.
On the road, you can see completely different combinations of letters and numbers, so many motorists mistakenly believe that license plates represent a random set of characters, but this is not the case.
In the process of registering vehicles, plates are issued in order (the only exceptions are special series, which will be discussed below), while the order of changing characters here is slightly different (not from left to right). So, the numbers change from right to left, that is, after the number T 359 OK, T 360 OK will be issued.
The letters change only after the numbers, and the first character changes first, that is, after the number T 999 OK, the number U 001 OK will be put into circulation. Then the third letter is replaced, and only then the second.
By correctly “reading” the state sign, you can determine the status of the car owner (for example, his belonging to law enforcement agencies). It happens that traffic police officers, having seen a special number, do not slow down the driver, even if he slightly violated traffic rules.
The list of "thieves" numbers is quite wide, so it simply does not make sense to list them all, but it is still worth noting the most common of them. For example, let's go over the state signs of Moscow and the capital region as a whole, while noting that each region has its own special numbers, which are quoted only within their territory, and beyond it, they lose their privileges, becoming simply “beautiful”.
AMR, ECX, TFR, etc.
Perhaps the most privileged are the AMP 97 series numbers, which indicate that this car is at the disposal of the State Duma, the government, the Federation Council, the leadership of the Federal Security Service, the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation or the Prosecutor's Office of the Russian Federation. These numbers are considered "untouchable", that is, traffic police officers do not have the right to stop such cars without permission from above. It is impossible to buy them, and rent them only for very big money.
The AMP 77 series officially belongs to the Central Administration of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, while individual numbers are given to private individuals, which means they can be purchased, only the price “bites”. According to rumors, they ask for them from 1 million rubles and more, and the closer the number is to the first hundred, the higher its price.
Privileged are also numbers with the designation EKX 97, which indicate that this machine belongs to the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation (FSO). There are rumors that these numbers were put into circulation after a dialogue between the ex-president of Russia Boris Yeltsin and the then head of the FSO Yu.V. Krapivin.
The latter turned to Yeltsin with a request to introduce new letters to the numbers, since the old ones were no longer enough. After joint deliberation, it was decided to use a combination letters ECX, which, according to legend, is an abbreviation that stands for “Yeltsin + Krapivin = Good”.
However, the official designation of the abbreviation sounds different - "Unified Kremlin economy", while a different decoding is walking among the people - "I'm going where I want" (and its more obscene version). To date, the series ECX numbers has already been canceled, although in the regions they can still be purchased, but for this you will have to pay a significant amount of money. But the purchase will not give any advantages.
Rather, on the contrary, the owner of the car should be prepared that he will often be stopped on the roads with a check. The latter is due to the fact that the traffic police know the list of current “untouchable” numbers, but all the rest are no longer such.
Also, the numbers of the XKX 77 series, which previously belonged to the FSB, can be attributed to the “decommissioned” ones. Now most of them are at the disposal of private owners. They are in demand among owners of SUVs and cars. executive class. Also, a considerable part of the MMM 77 series of numbers, which is used to designate official vehicles of the Moscow Ministry of Internal Affairs, was given to private traders.
The SKR 197 and SKR 199 series are valid and are at the disposal of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation, and the 197 series numbers are not for sale, while the presence of such a number in a private person means only one thing - it is a fake, which means that if a negligent driver is braked on the road, then he will not be fined to avoid. But the signs of the 199 series periodically become available for purchase, but they cost a lot.
Cars with a number from the CCC 77 series belong to special communications services and other similar organizations. In turn, the CCC code 99 refers to the tax, GOKHRAN and GUIN, and the CCC code 97 refers to various special services. You can buy such a number, but again it is problematic.
Most of the AOO 77, VOO 77, MOO 77 and SOO 77 series have been given to the Administration of the President of the Russian Federation. However, with special desire and luck, you can buy them, but again for a fairly substantial amount.
No less remarkable on the road are the car numbers of the AMO series. It belongs to the city administration and various ministries. Periodically, such numbers appear on sale for the appropriate price.
Availability MMP series 77 or VMR 77 indicates that the car belongs to the structures of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the FSB. They are also available for sale, but the buyer will have to fork out properly. Plus, it is worth mentioning the OOO 77 series. Previously, FSB officers drove cars with such numbers, but now they can also be bought.
No less popular in Moscow and the adjacent territory are the numbers of the PMP 77 series, which were designed specifically for justice. They are in considerable demand in the market, only the price for them is slightly lower than the series listed above.
The numbers of the EP 177 series, designed specifically for members of the party “ United Russia”, most often found in the capital. They are of no particular value and are freely available.
In addition to the “thieves” numbers listed above, there are simply “beautiful” ones. The latter are a meaningful selection of symbols and letters (for example, B 123 OR) and can be bought at the traffic police, but they do not give any privileges on the road.
The car number contains certain information about its owner.. It makes it possible to determine the region and the status of the owner of the car.
When buying, every car enthusiast wants beautiful memorable numbers for his vehicle. But they can be remembered not only by numbers, but also by letters.
A regular registration number contains three letters and three numbers in the main part. Still, more attention is paid to the numbers.
But no less relevant is the question of what the letters on the numbers of cars in Russia mean.
The symbols on the license plates of a car or other vehicle are the main registration information, which represents the region and mode of transport data necessary to identify the driver.
If at least one character is missing on the license plate, or the numbers cannot be read for some other reason, then the owner vehicle will be punished with a certain fine.
Numbers are set according to the rules traffic, they spelled out the algorithm and timing of installation. The location for the registration number is located on the substrate, which is specially installed on the bumper.
Location in any other prominent place is considered a violation, which entails a fine. It is important that the license plates are not upside down.
The usual number is conditionally divided into 2 parts. On the left are three letters and three numbers. The first is a letter, then three numbers, followed by the remaining two characters.
In accordance with GOST R 50577-93 - three letters in the number are a series, and numbers are a number registration plate
. Russian license plates use only 12 letters of the Russian alphabet.
These are exactly the letters that have an analogue in the Latin alphabet. Among them are A, B, E, K, M, H, O, R, C, T, U, X. C right side letters and numbers are also depicted, but the letters are no longer Russian.
The numbers indicate the region of the Russian Federation where the car is registered, there may be 2 or 3. And the letters "RUS" in the car number mean belonging to the country in which it is registered.
These are all signs that are available in a regular room. In addition to them, there is only a figure with the colors of the flag of the Russian Federation.
Registration plates can have one of 5 colors. Some of them speak about the privileges of a motorist and carry information about belonging to the divisions of the state structure.
In addition to the above, there are license plates that are used by people and organizations close to the authorities in Russian Federation.
These numbers often give the car an advantage on the road. Operational FSB vehicles may have different state registration plates.
The decoding of license plates should begin with the FSO RF series - EKH99. It appeared instead of EKX77, and EKX177 was used when the summit was held in St. Petersburg, after which it was handed over to the warehouse.
The EKX97 series belongs to the FSO and other departments that have the appropriate immunity.
Vehicles of the FSB and the UD of the President
One part of the signs from the XKX77 series is used by the FSB, and wealthy people always wanted to have the other on their cars, so it was sold.
Cars from the Office of the President use license plates from the AOO77, MOO77, BOO77 and COO77 series.
A vehicle with a beacon indicates that a special postman from the State Fiscal Service of the Russian Federation is moving on it. These cars do not have advantages on the roads.
The series numbers AKP177, EKR177, VKR177 and KKR177 mean belonging to those close to the authorities. These cars used to have state license plates. of blue color.
Numbers of the EP177 series are members of the State Duma.
After the blue license plates were introduced, the Ministry of Internal Affairs partially sold out the numbers AMP77, KMP77, BMP77, OMP77, MMP77, TMP77 and UMP77.
Only a few of them remained under the control of this department.
PMP77 - license plates of the prosecutor's office. Series AMO77 - almost completely used by the Moscow City Hall.
Deciphering thieves' numbers on a car highlights people who are in power and the relevant state structures.
Numbers such as HAA99, CAA99, TAA99 and XAA99 are also considered thieves. Their main difference lies in the fact that both FSB or research institute employees and a cool private trader have these signs.
Numbers play a big role. Beautiful numbers can be called those that have the same numbers.
The most popular and sought after are the three sevens. After all, 7 is considered a lucky number. License plates that begin with two zeros are also popular - 003, 002 and the like. As well as mirrors, for example, 101, 202.
But they look very nice and stand out among a large number of cars, vehicles, whose license plates contain three identical letters - TTT, UUU, XXX.
The exception is thieves, they are not used by ordinary citizens. Any other identical numbers are not considered thieves. It’s just that such license plates are not issued at the MREO, but are sold.
Prices for beautiful rooms are different - 3000 rubles and more. For such an amount, you can buy the simplest mirrors or just an extraordinary simple number.
For example, you can hang the number 308 on a Peugeot 308 for free, but practice proves that no one will give it away just like that. The same awaits those who want to use BMW numbers that match the model.
Price same digits starts from 15 thousand rubles, taking into account registration with a commercial MREO. In 2019, the prices for the same letters have increased greatly, and together with beautiful numbers, they are practically unattainable for a middle-class citizen.
But it should always be taken into account that the cool numbers will not eliminate all possible troubles. After all, certification plays a major role.
It is best to always follow the rules of the road. Not only your own health and life depends on this, but also the lives of other people involved in road traffic.
Thus, the combination of license plates is built according to the principle - 3 letters and three numbers. The letters on the car numbers are deciphered as a number plate series, the numbers are the code of the region where the car is registered.
In addition, it should be borne in mind that the meaning of some letters can be radically different in different regions of the country.
- - such a number on a car can be found on departmental vehicles of special communications.
- ССС99, ССС97, ССС177, ССС197 This series was issued to law enforcement agencies, which can still be found on the roads of our country, and not infrequently with flashing beacons. This series is also available for ordinary road users. As a rule, they are bought by middle-class and higher businessmen to emphasize their high position in society.
- (Mary) - numbers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, you can still meet some of the leaders of this structure on them. The first hundred is especially valued, where the first digit in the car number is zero, since numbers with such thieves' series were issued to high-ranking bosses.
- AMO99, AMO77 numbers of the government and the State Duma of Moscow, but mainly AMO77, which are considered to be "Workers".
- AMO50 and AMO90: officials of the Moscow region move on cars with such thieves' car numbers. But such license plates can also be found from private traders.
- AMM77, AMM177, AMM197, AMM97, but basically - this special series was previously issued to deputies of the Moscow City Duma, who still drive with these license plates, but most of these numbers are already flaunting on private cars. This is due to the fact that the deputies of the previous convocations did not rent out these thieves' numbers, but sold them.
- COO77, AOO77, BOO77, MOO77- these series of special numbers are assigned to the Office of the President.
- AMP77, MMP77, KMP77- a very prestigious series, such car numbers hang on vehicles of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the FSB and partly of the presidential administration (the seventh part), which did not have enough blue license plates. This special series appeared as a result of the reduction of cars with flashing lights based on a presidential decree. The entire series of MP numbers in Moscow is considered thieves, the most expensive series is AMP77, then there are MMP and KMR, and such numbers for a car as OMP77, BMP77, TMP77 etc.
- ACR177, WRC177, CCR177- assigned to various structures of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, in the general queue this series was not issued, a small amount came to the market from decommissioned vehicles of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Unlike AMP77, it does not have great demand because of the ignorance of our citizens. Well "work" on certain brands of cars.
- AMP50, AMP90, AMP150 and AMP190- a special series of state registration plates, which can often be found on official vehicles of the traffic police of the Moscow region.
- MMR 150, 190- the numbers of cars of this special series belong to various structures of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Moscow Region.
- Number series ECX77. Series state. ECX numbers ranging from 001 to 999 in the 77th region are special. products of the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation. It is almost impossible to find them in the public domain. Only those who are especially close to His Majesty can afford them. The unofficial price tag for these numbers starts from 3 million wooden rubles.
- AKR177, KKR177, WKR177, EKR177- special number sequence, mainly hang on official transport Ministry of Internal Affairs, were issued instead of blue registration plates. The most prestigious series of these state signs is AKR177. On certain brands of cars, the effect of this series is even higher.
- Series numbers EKH99, EKH 97, EKH177, EKH197, EKH199 partly belong to the FSO, but they can also be found on ordinary cars.
- AAA77. Such numbers, but only with a flag instead of the region, were on the cars of the president's garage. Price from 330 thousand rubles.
- Number series for cars AAA97, AAA99, AAA177, AAA199. These license plates are used by the FSB, which indicates their high status.
Such license plates labeled by the authorities will not give a 100% guarantee that you will not be stopped, but with them you will be more comfortable driving on the roads of our country, traffic police officers can “close their eyes” to small traffic violations. And with appropriate polite communication with people in uniform, you will achieve greater understanding on their part.
In Russia, a license plate means more than just a plate on a car. From it you can sometimes find out what status the owner of the car has.
In 2019, AMR numbers in Moscow have practically lost their thieves' value, many just want to get a beautiful combination of letters and numbers.
What are car numbers
In Russia, the majority state numbers on the machine are made according to the rules of GOST R 50577-93, which was adopted in 1993 and has not changed much since then.
The GOST states that the numbers of military, route, diplomatic vehicles, as well as trailers, motorcycles and special equipment may differ from the standard one.
In addition to official differences, citizens came up with combinations of letters and numbers indicating the privileged position of the owner.
Standard numbers are printed with a combination of 3 letters and 3 numbers, which cannot be the same as an already existing number.
The numbers mean the number itself, and the letters indicate the character series. The law allows the use of 12 Cyrillic letters, which coincide with the Latin alphabet.
October 15, 2013 in Russia has changed the regulations for the registration of vehicles. The new rules established that when changing the owner of a car, it is allowed to keep the old license plate (except for obsolete Soviet numbers) if it is in good condition.
There should be no cracks, dents or abrasions on the sign, numbers and letters are easy to read. If you want to save a damaged number, you can make a duplicate in the traffic police. In 2019, instead of registration and deregistration, citizens undergo a re-registration procedure, which allows them to keep rare numbers.
Issuance procedure
State signs are issued when registering a new car in the traffic police. Most drivers get a random combination of numbers and letters that they can't influence.
However, among some drivers, a beautiful combination, for which they are willing to pay, is considered important.
WITH There are 2 options to get a special number:
- through acquaintances in the traffic police during the initial registration of a car, but this method is prohibited by law;
- buy a car with beautiful numbers from another owner.
There are several sites on the Internet that sell the numbers of the Federal Security Service, the presidential administration, etc. Such signs cost several tens of millions of rubles and appear quite rarely.
When the driver buys numbers, you need to approach the insurer and update the information in the OSAGO policy. Otherwise, it will be invalid.
What does AMP mean?
Thieves signs appeared in the Soviet Union. First wave beautiful rooms began in 1939, when Red Army vehicles received numbers with the letter A and could drive through territories closed to others without presenting documents. Government vehicles received MA marks.
In Moscow and in Russia as a whole, the most thieves and expensive is considered special series AMP97. These numbers were formed after the replacement of signs with the Russian flag. They cannot be bought, only rented.
AMR is put on company cars the most prominent officials, for example, deputies of the State Duma, officials of the FSO, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the RF IC, the Federation Council, etc. If there is such a sign on the car, the traffic police inspectors know that high-ranking officials are sitting in the car.
The second most prestigious number is AMP77, it is more realistic to buy it for money ordinary drivers. These cars in the past belonged to the Central Administration of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, now the cars have been transferred to private owners.
They rarely appear on sale, there are many buyers. The number AMP77 costs from a million rubles and more. The most expensive is the A0 ** MP777 series, that is, the first 100 cars produced with these signs.
The remaining AMR numbers (except 77) cannot be bought without a close acquaintance with high-ranking officials and other government officials.
Deciphering thieves numbers
In Russia, there are still combinations of numbers printed in an edition of up to 100 pieces, which are especially valued among wealthy drivers:
| From A001MP97 to A136MP97 | The Government, the Federation Council, the State Duma, etc. have these numbers. Each state apparatus owns no more than 50 cars with such numbers |
| From A137MP97 to A201MP97 | They belong to the Prosecutor General's Office and the Central Electoral Commission. There are less than 70 such numbers |
| From A203MP97 to A369MP97 | Assigned to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, now private owners have numbers (about 170 pieces) |
| A362MR97 | Owned by Yu.M. Luzhkov, who travels accompanied by a traffic police car with numbers A18 ** 99 |
| From A370MP97 to A400MP97 | The cars belong to the Ministry of Emergency Situations, the Federal Penitentiary Service, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and other federal agencies. Numbers less than 20 pieces |
| From A371 to A37497 | Assigned to the Ministry of Emergency Situations, one of the rooms belonged to Mikhalkov, now bought out by a private owner |
| From A401MP97 to A600MP97. | The numbers belong to the directors of the executive authorities in different regions Russia. There are less than 90 such signs in Moscow. Another 90 belong to the heads of executive power in nearby regions of the country |
| From A401MP97 to A489MP97 | The signs belong to the governors of various regions of the country. There are only 4 of them in Moscow and the region, these numbers are not available to private drivers for any money. |
| From A501MP97 to A589MP97 | The numbers are assigned to the largest speakers of the country. There are less than 85 of them in Russia, most of them are located in Moscow. Such signs are prohibited for sale. |
| From A601MP97 to A697MP07 | The signs are designed for the federal structures of the country. The majority belongs to the Courier Service, the Ministry of Turnover and Rosfinmonitoring also have it. Less than 100 issues released |
| From A698MP97 to A999MP97 | Numbers from Rosstat, the Federal Security Service and Rosatom. There are more than 200 of them, so they are the cheapest and most affordable on the market. |
How to get a nice number
To buy a rare AMR number, a citizen must have a large amount of money. In 2015, the number of the government series was put up, for which they demanded 15 million rubles. Badge A082MR97 belonged to the head of the Federal Agency for Fisheries.
It was not sold separately from the car, but together with the used Audi A8 L, for which it is registered. The agency decided to put the car up for sale almost immediately after the law allowed to keep the numbers when changing ownership. It was bought almost instantly, the owner's details were not disclosed.
There are many offers on the Internet for the sale of rare or thieves, but it is almost impossible to find the AMP sign. For example, mirror figures in Moscow cost about 30 thousand, repeated figures can be found for 100 thousand.
The more beautiful the combination of letters, the more expensive the final cost will be. The scheme of sale is always the same: rare signs are installed on old cheap cars, formally a citizen buys Soviet car, but in fact receives unusual state numbers.
Gradually, more and more thieves' numbers appear on the black market. Prices for AMR start at 2 million rubles and are quickly sorted out, but you can contact the dealer and find out about the available combinations of letters and numbers. AMR can only be rented, you cannot buy such numbers.
In this article, we will try to list some series license plates, which are used by people and organizations close to power in the Russian Federation. The numbers from the above list often give the car a certain advantage on the road, but the main thing is not to attribute “marking” to the wrong vehicles at all.
To begin with, it should be noted that FSB operational vehicles may have different state registration numbers. Therefore, here we will not deal with their useless enumeration, and we will also leave the military and "blue" numbers alone.
Let's start the decoding of state numbers with the cars of the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation - EKH99. This series appeared instead of EKX77, and EKX177, which was used during the summit held in St. Petersburg, was then put into storage.
The EKX97 series also belongs to the FSO and other departments that have the appropriate immunity.
How to recognize the car of the FSB or the UD of the President
One part of the signs from the XKX77 series is in the possession of the FSB, and the other was in demand among wealthy people and therefore was sold.
AMP97 numbers appeared to replace the "flag" signs (except for the AAAFL series), which were canceled. If numbers from the eighth hundred are applied, the decoding of the letters on the numbers indicates belonging to the FSB. Numbers from the first two dozen correspond to the government, and from the third ten - to the Presidential Administration. This includes, in particular, the former WAAFL.
License plates from the AAAFL series, which hung on the transport of the country's top officials, as well as accompanying cars, were subsequently replaced by a large number of conventional TRK177, OOT177 and HRK177. Moreover, the head of the Federal Security Service put a number from the EKX99 series on his car.
Cars that are assigned to the fleet of the Presidential Administration are equipped with numbers from the AOO77, MOO77, BOO77 and COO77 series. If the car has a lighthouse, then a courier (special postman) from the State Fiscal Service of the Russian Federation is traveling in it. However, these vehicles are deprived of any advantages on the road.
Numbers of the State Duma, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Federal Penitentiary Service and other bodies
The KOO77 series used to belong to the Constitutional Court, but after the abolition of numbers with the tricolor, these signs were placed on cars that did not have beacons (AAKFL series).
The decoding of the series of numbers AKP177, EKR177, VKR177 and KKR177 is as follows - they appeared on in large numbers cars that previously drove under the "blue" state registration plates.
Almost three hundred issues of the EP177 series went to our State Duma, where they were used instead of the canceled "flag" ones.
After the introduction of blue signs, the Ministry of Internal Affairs began selling the numbers AMP77, KMP77, BMP77, OMP77, MMP77, TMP77 and UMP77. But at the same time, a certain number of cars on AMP77, MMP77 and KMP77 remained subordinate to this department.
PMP77 - numbers of the Ministry of Justice, the prosecutor's office, the Federal Penitentiary Service, etc.
The AMO77 series is almost completely assigned to the cars of the Moscow City Hall.
Well, they are completing the decoding of thieves' car numbers of the NAA99, CAA99, TAA99 and XAA99 series. Such signs can be either at the FSB or research institutes, or at a cool private trader.
