Ghanaian vehicle registration plates indicate the place (Region) where the vehicles bearing them were registered. Ghana has no restrictions on the use of number plates in the various regions - a vehicle registered in the Ashanti Region can be used in the Brong-Ahafo Region and vice versa; Unlike other parts of the world where it is required to re-register a vehicle when it goes to a different city or county with the national boundaries. A vehicle can be re-registered or a new license plate acquired under the following conditions: * Vehicle bears a government registration plate and is being transferred to a civilian. * Vehicle bears a diplomatic plate and is being transferred to a non-diplomat. * Vehicle has a personalized plate and is being transferred to a new owner. ==Format== The current Ghanaian number plate format has been in use since January, 2009; Ghanaian vehicle license plates consist of a two-letter region code, followed by a 4-digit numeric and a 2-digit year code. The 2-letter region code indicates the region in which the vehicle was registered; the 4-digit numeric code is the unique item one can find on a Ghanaian number plate - the digits show the number of vehicles registered in the Region in which the vehicle was registered. The year code also tells one the exact year in which the vehicle was registered. For instance, the 2567th vehicle registered in the Ashanti Region in the year 2012, will bear the number plate AS 2567-12. The 4-digit numeric code is regarded as unique because there can be hundreds of say Mitsubishi Lancer that have the same colour, registered in one Region and in the same year but the 4-digit, which indicates the number of vehicles registered, will help distinguish between those identical vehicles. The 2-letter region code is the combination of the first letter from the name of the Region, and the letter ' R ' which denotes Region; however, 4 of the 10 regions in Ghana: Ashanti, Brong-Ahafo, Upper East and Upper West do not have the letter ' R ' as part of their region code. Below are the codes for the various regions in Ghana AS = Ashanti Region * BA = Brong-Ahafo Region * CR = Central Region ER = Eastern Region GR = Greater Accra Region NR = Northern Region UE = Upper East Region * UW = Upper West Region * VR = Volta Region WR = Western Region ''NB'' ''Regions'' ''with'' ''asterisks'' ''are'' ''those'' ''that'' ''do'' ''not'' ''have'' ''the'' ''letter'' ''R'' ''as'' ''part'' ''of'' ''their'' ''region'' ''code''. "The Ghana Armed Forces, Ghana Police, Fire Service and the Ghana Prisons Service have special codes on their number plates - GA, GP, FS and PS are used for the Ghana Army, Ghana Police, Fire Service and the Ghana Prisons respectively''. (e.g. GP 5 for Ghana POlice or PS 33 for Prisons Service) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Vehicle registration plates of Ghana」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
