context_page_description: In Macau, vehicle registration numbers are issued by the "Direcção dos Serviços para os Assuntos de Tráfego" - the Transport Bureau since 2008. The bureau does not provide the number plates itself, but are made by shops which provide this kind of service to car owners.
context_section_description: Registration numbers are in a format "Mx-dd-dd". The first prefix "M" stands for "Macau" and the "x" is a letter in sequence starting from "A". The "d"s are digits and consist of a number between 1 and 9999 with leading zeroes. Numbers with leading zeroes from 1 to 999 are reserved for government vehicles. For example, M-00-01 is allocated to the vehicle of the Chief Executive of the Macau SAR.
  The very first numbers ever allocated have no second prefix. "M-dd-dd" was the format. When the numbers had run out, "MA-dd-dd" followed. When "MA-dd-dd" runs out, it will start with "AA-dd-dd", with the M prefix dropped.
  As of August 2020, the current allocated prefix is "MZ".
