context_page_description: Brazilian vehicle registration plates are issued by the states. Each state has a Departamento de Trânsito that is in charge of vehicle registration and car tax collection, but plates are standardized across the country and form a national vehicle registration database.
context_section_description: The letters on the license plate can describe the state where a vehicle was originally registered. Vehicles relocated from one state to another will show the new state/municipality on the replaceable tag, but it is always possible to determine the place of original registration for a used vehicle by observing the license plate range for each Brazilian State:
