The standard form of Russian car license plates is known even to those who are not familiar with the intricacies of driving. But occasionally on the streets you can also see black numbers on a car, which differ from the usual ones not only in color, but also in other features of their appearance. What do they mean?
Car numbers on a black background are one of the five main types of car signs, along with white, yellow, blue, and red. Just like the standard ones, they indicate the official road user in accordance with the established traffic rules.
A vehicle with such an identifier is part of the infrastructure of military units or the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation.
There are several levels of car data relationship:
- federal;
- state;
- government;
- regional.
The standard appearance of the plate is as follows:
- Rectangular plate of standard size.
- The background paint is black and does not have a light reflection function.
- 4 digits of the main number and 2 letters after them in white - a combination and sequence that is different from the classic ones.
- Another meaning of the two-digit numeric code on the right side is that it refers not to a specific administrative region, but to the type of military units or district to which they belong.
Important. Previously, such numbers were issued on a square plate. This type of designation is still found on the roads and is valid.
Possession of black license plates
The answer to the question "What do the black numbers mean?" already known. But you also need to understand to whom the VAI has the right to issue these identification marks directly.
The list includes:
- Employees of the domestic Ministry of Defense.
- Employees of military units and divisions.
- Employees of the SpetsStroy company at the federal level.
- The personnel of the internal troops in the ranks of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation.
- Members of the armed forces of the external direction.
- Vehicles of an indispensable stock of Russian districts.
- Military of the Russian fleet.
- Executive authorities of the federal level, authorized to fulfill military obligations.
- Employees of the military automobile inspection.
- Special military services of the governmental and federal levels.
- Vehicles of the Ministry of Emergency Situations.
Vehicles of first responders, such as an ambulance fleet or a fire station, are also sometimes equipped with similar plates. In the event that light-sound alarms are turned on on such a means, other road users are obliged to give way to it.
Permission to install license plates of this type can be obtained by owners of such mobile equipment:
- motorcycles;
- "passenger cars";
- the options listed above with a trailer;
- trucks;
- means for transporting people;
- armored and unarmored military equipment.
And also - special equipment for rapid response, like fire trucks.
Deciphering the numeric code of the number
The two-digit number in the square plate of the black number on the right indicates the relation to one or another type of troops or military district, and not to administrative departments, as is commonly believed. Because of this, inaccuracies arise when deciphering the sign.
You can avoid them by reading the notation table below:

Black numbers in other countries
Not always one-dimensional signs of the same color in other countries mean the same thing that they mean in Russia. As a result, when visiting another state or crossing border points, confusion may arise when identifying a car number.
Ukraine
The Ukrainian car black number is slightly different from the Russian one in appearance - 4 white digits of the number are depicted on a black background, followed by 1 more letter and number. Issued to employees of security services, emergency situations, border guards, military and mountain rescuers.
Unlike the Russian Federation, here the relation to the type of activity is indicated in the literal equivalent. For example, the Armed Forces use the designations A, K, R, C, B, and the emergency service - Ch.
Rectangular plates are intended for automobile type of transport, square - for motorcycle.
Belarus
Belarus introduced dark registration plates of a new type only in 2000 - they indicate that vehicles belong to the fleet of the Ministry of Defense. However, on the streets you can sometimes still find buses with numbers of the same color - in the middle of the twentieth century they were widespread throughout the state.
The four-digit numeric code in this case is supplemented by two letters at the end.
Kazakhstan
The Soviet system of identification of automobile registration for the transport of employees at the border and in the Ministry of Defense remained in the country.
There are 2 types of performance:
- With a five-pointed equilateral star in front of the signs, followed by 4 numbers and 2 letters - for vehicles in military units.
- Without a five-pointed star, a four-digit number in the middle is separated by a hyphen - for vehicles of the Ministry of Defense and the Border Service.
Almost all border vehicles have the first letter - sh, from the Kazakh word "shekara" - border.
Germany
In a European country, the designation of cars with a black sign with white letters is absent, as such.
Black color is used as an identifier only when issuing insurance numbers for technical equipment of small displacement and power (mopeds, bicycles). The color of the edging and signs of the number indicates the year in which the registration was carried out. So, vehicles with black numbers were insured in 1990 or every third year after it.
Blue and green numbers are also used to indicate years.
The attitude of the traffic police
The traffic safety inspectorate should not establish special rules for driving if there are black numbers on the car in front of them. She, like everyone else, is a full-fledged road user who is obliged to follow all the rules in order to avoid accidents.
The exception is situations when an urgent passage of a column of military transport or the movement of an official is planned along the breed. The unhindered movement is ensured by the employees of the inspection, who block the streets in advance in certain places. Such situations should be discussed in advance.
The deputies came up with a radical way to reduce the number of accidents involving officials. The license plates of their official cars will be painted green. According to the plan, this will force civil servants to behave more carefully on the roads, and at the same time limit the possibility of using vehicles for personal purposes. The initiative may have the opposite effect, experts are skeptical: cars with "thieves" numbers will no longer be stopped by the police.
Green numbers are proposed to be issued to officials, deputies and senators by the parliamentarian from United Russia, Alexander Vasiliev. He argues his idea by the fact that color differentiation disciplines drivers of civil servants who neglect traffic rules, as it will draw attention to them on the road.
“The number of accidents is growing, and among the reasons for this is the low culture of drivers of state structures,” the deputy's request addressed to the Minister of Internal Affairs Vladimir Kolokoltsev says (available to RBC daily). - The participation of drivers of departmental organizations in such incidents is aggravated by the fact that the punishment for them often remains a formality, since they use pressure on the representatives of the traffic police from the perpetrators. I consider it necessary to consider the possibility of introducing a special series of numbers (example: white letters on a green background) to better identify cars of government officials in the stream.”
Before the introduction of green numbers, according to Alexander Vasilyev, one can limit oneself to applying stickers-identifiers on the rear window of official cars. This should strengthen the possibilities for public scrutiny. “We need to see where these cars are going, where they are parked, so that they don’t go to restaurants or go hunting. As a rule, professional drivers sit in these cars. We will see how they relate to compliance with the rules, we will complain to their management, and we will also see the real attitude of the traffic police to violations of the rules by cars with green numbers, ”the deputy explained to RBC daily.
At the same time, citizens will be able to see for themselves which cars officials spend budget funds on, the deputy added. The parliamentarian proposes to install distinctive numbers on cars of all levels of government - executive, legislative and judicial.
The deputy is sure that his proposal does not require budget expenditures, and only the relevant directive of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is needed to make a decision.
“Everything related to license plates - their appearance, digital and alphabetic values, acceptable series - is determined by a decree of the government of the Russian Federation. The Ministry of Internal Affairs does not have such powers, - does not confirm the source of RBC daily in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. “In addition, this initiative will definitely not be able to be implemented without additional budgetary funding.” But the request has not yet been considered by the minister, the deputy will be answered in due time, the interlocutor in the police clarifies.
Today in Russia there are car numbers of five different colors: red ones belong to diplomatic missions and trade missions of foreign states, blue ones are installed on cars of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, black ones - of the Ministry of Defense, yellow ones are hung on commercial passenger transport and, finally, white ones - on all other modes of transport.
The idea of "landscaping" the rooms caused bewilderment among auto experts. “The latest trend, on the contrary, was that all officials, except for the military and police, should drive with ordinary plates. The deputy wanted to hang green numbers on official cars so that it would be clear who it is better not to stop, - Petr Shkumatov, coordinator of the Blue Buckets community, does not share the optimism of the parliamentarian. “It seems that the deputy has reviewed the film “Kin-dza-dza!”, where it is said that society has no future without the color differentiation of pants.”
United Russia deputy, auto expert Vyacheslav Lysakov also does not support the impulse of his colleagues in the State Duma. “I don’t really understand the meaning of why there should be a division into bureaucratic and non-bureaucratic cars. Only cars with special signals can violate traffic rules, and all the rest, I mean non-operational services, must comply with them. Green number or not, it does not matter,” he notes.
from myself: this could have a logical background if we were talking about cars of courts, the Federal Penitentiary Service and the Federal Bailiff Service ... but why the deputies need green paint - I personally don’t understand ...
As an experiment, the leadership of the Ministry of Internal Affairs decided to designate the color of police vehicles back in 1999, when the government ordered to reduce the number of special signals. Officially blue numbers Approved in 2002. Installed on cars, trucks, motorcycles and trailers. Format: letter - 4 digits. The digital code indicated on the right side of the license plate, as well as on most other numbers of the Russian Federation, indicates the region of registration. Exception: code 77, indicating that the vehicle belongs to the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation (a kind of "federal" number of the Ministry of Internal Affairs).
There are two types of red license plates in Germany. Unlike the short-term indicator, the dealer indicator is not tied to a specific vehicle, so it can be used multiple times. The license plate is accompanied by a special license plate. Vehicles that must be marked with a red license plate must be entered in the booklet before starting the journey.
Registration for a car - without it
Which documents are required for a vehicle license depends on the respective approval procedure. Please check the website of the license office for everyone required documents- if only one document is missing, registration fails. In order to reduce waiting times, it is also recommended that applicants who have already been filled out be pre-filled and that they should make an appointment for admission to the website of the licensed branch.
Registration plates of vehicles of diplomatic missions and trade missions foreign companies. The main information on such a license plate is carried by the first three digits of the code, as well as the subsequent letter (s). The digital code indicates belonging to a certain foreign state, the decoding of the letter prefix is as follows:
If you wish to have a label with certain letter combinations, you must confirm your check-in and booking confirmation in advance. The entrance fee is around 28 euros. The vehicle fleet of the Bundeswehr will be marked with special features. The numbers are not displayed. Thus, cars are not easily recognized by the enemy.
The Bundeswehr attributes themselves to military characteristics
According to the code letter, the headquarters of the military station in Mönchengladbach assigns a six-digit number sequence to the fleet of the Federal Army. This ensures that the German armed forces can equip up to 999 vehicles with license plates.
- CD - a car with this registration plate is registered to an ambassador or another person with the rank of head of a diplomatic mission.
- D - means that the registration number is issued for a car belonging to a diplomatic mission.
- T - the number is issued for the car of the trade mission of a foreign state.
Black numbers are installed on vehicles belonging to military units. These can be the Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of Emergency Situations, the Internal Troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Border Troops. Format: 4 numbers - 2 letters. Such license plates are made with a non-reflective surface (unlike other civilian ones). The main information is carried by the code on the right side of the number, which determines belonging to the military branches, and not to the subjects of the Russian Federation.
Since the numbers are arbitrary, the number plate cannot be used to identify a particular group of vehicles. But: everything vehicles with the Bundeswehr marking can take part - from a tanker to a motorcycle - in normal traffic.
Another feature of the Bundeswehr flag is that the plates of the plates are not reflective. This is a tactical defensive measure so that Bundeswehr vehicles cannot be easily distinguished from the enemy. On the other hand, notified body seals are only affixed to normal approval marks.
License plates with yellow background type "aa000a 00" were previously issued for cars of foreign companies. From March 1, 2002 (type aa000 00) are installed on buses (and minibuses), taxis and vehicles that carry passengers on a commercial basis. Manufactured on a dark yellow reflective plate with black alphanumeric combinations. There is no Russian flag under the registration region code.
In addition, the Bundeswehr seal is once again stamped on the back of military license plates. The German military license does not have a test label. The Bundeswehr fleet is regularly maintained inland. In addition, most civilian vehicles of the Bundeswehr are already being checked after two years - before the first exhaust gas and the main investigation.
The German Armed Forces are responsible for accidents involving military vehicles in road traffic. However, the maximum amount of losses is limited by the statutory maternity reserves. They cover personal injuries up to 7.5 million euros and property damage up to 1.2 million on the roads common use Drivers of Bundeswehr vehicles must comply with the applicable regulations, as should all road users. Violations are reported to the competent military command, which internally regulates violations and, if necessary, punishes them with disciplinary sanctions.
These license plates are installed on cars exported from Russian Federation. Their distinguishing feature is the presence of the letter T on the left side. Sign format: 2 letters - 3 numbers.
These license plates are used to register trailers. Format: 2 letters - 4 numbers.
