The size and shape of Ecuadorian number plates is similar to those in neighbouring countries. The format of the current series of car registrations is XXX YYY, where X is a letter and Y is a digit. The country name, 'ECUADOR' is displayed above the registration. The number plates are white, with black lettering and a black border. The previous series had white number plates as well, however the format of the registration was different.
