caption_attribution_description: English: Paraguayan vehicle registration plate.
context_page_description: Since the end of the year 2000 Paraguay has required its residents to register their motor vehicles with the National Register of Vehicles and to display vehicle registration plates; this system has replaced the former one whereby plates were issued by municipal authorities, who also kept local registers.
  The plates are inscribed with a 4-letter and 3-number combination, and remain with the vehicle for its lifetime. Motorcycles are numbered in the same series as cars, but with the letters and numbers group transposed.
  The now former series "AXX NNN" and "BXX NNN" was used mainly by the central office of the Registry in Asunción, series beginning with other letters were used by regional offices in the interior of the country. "Exx nnn" was reserved for public vehicles which are tax-exempt, the series "Txx nnn" was for agricultural tractors and machinery, the series "Vxx nnn" for antique cars.

  The plates are inscribed with a 4-letter and 3-number combination, and remain with the vehicle for its lifetime. Motorcycles are numbered in the same series as cars, but with the letters and numbers group transposed ("nnn XXX").
  The now former series "AXX NNN" and "BXX NNN" was used mainly by the central office of the Registry in Asunción, series beginning with other letters were used by regional offices in the interior of the country. "Exx nnn" was reserved for public vehicles which are tax-exempt, the series "Txx nnn" was for agricultural tractors and machinery, the series "Vxx nnn" for antique cars (and "VAP nnn" for those belonging to members of the Circulo de Vehiculos Antiguos del Paraguay).
   
  There are also plates inscribed in black for persons whose occupation or elective position gives them immunity from prosecution, like the "SEN XXX" plates of Senators, "DIP XXX" of Representatives (Diputados), "JMX NNN" for  elected municipal council members (Junta Municipal) authorities, and the "PJx nnn" plates indicates official vehicles of judges.
  Provisionally, new-registered vehicles may obtain a series starting with P (beginning from "PRX"), which is changed to the formal plate once completed the registration.
