Number plates in Colombia are widely varied. The current series of car registrations came into effect in 2001, with the number plates being yellow with black lettering. The format of the registration is XXX YYY, with X being a letter and Y being a digit. The area where the vehicle was registered is displayed under the registration. The previous series of vehicle registrations also had yellow number plates, but the format of the registration has changed.
