When you're adding license plate registration numbers:

  • Do not include any spaces

  • Always use capital letters

Examples: ABC123 (correct), ABC 123 (incorrect), abc123 (incorrect)

  • You can use wildcards in your license plate lists. Do this by defining plates with a number of ?'s and the letter(s) and/or number(s) which must appear at specific places

Examples: ?????A, A?????, ???1??, 22??33, A?B?C? and similar.

Some regional areas might have exceptions to these rules. For example, personalized plates with spaces. Plates with two sets of characters which must be recognized separately by an underscore character ( _ ). Or plates from certain regions with letters on a different background color on parts of the license plate.
