Located on the west coast of South Africa, Angola is surrounded by Namibia, Zambia and Congo. The major land feature of Angola is the central plateau, which accounts for over sixty percent of the land area. There are a number of rivers that run from this plateau into the Congo and Zambesi rivers.
The format of the number plates in Angola follow a format of LLL.DD.DD with the ‘L’ standing for letters and the ‘D’ standing for digits. This format has been around since 1975 and has only recently been superseded by another format. The new style number plates follow this format – LL.DD.DD with the first two letters signifying the area where the vehicle was registered. The old style still is valid however.
