The country in which a motor vehicle's vehicle registration plate was issued is indicated by an international licence plate country code, formerly known as an International Registration Letter〔See Georgano, G. N. and Andersen, Thorkil Ry; ''The New encyclopedia of motorcars, 1885 to the present''; p. 18 ISBN 0525932542〕 or International Circulation Mark〔See Harding, Anthony and Bird, Anthony; ''Guinness Book of Car Facts and Feats: A Record of Everyday Motoring and Automotive Achievements''; p. 243. ISBN 0851122078〕 displayed in bold block uppercase on a small white oval plate or sticker near the number plate on the rear of a vehicle. : This is different from the way vehicles belonging to the diplomats of foreign countries with license plate from the host country are marked. That standard is host country specific and varies largely from country to country. For example TR on a diplomatic car in US indicates Italian, not Turkish. Such markings in Norway are indicated with numbers only, again different from international standards (90 means Slovakian -not Turkish as international telephone codes would mean-). The allocation of codes is maintained by the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe as the ''Distinguishing Signs Used on Vehicles in International Traffic''〔United Nations, (''Distinguishing Signs Used on Vehicles in International Traffic'' ), 15 February 2007〕 (sometimes abbreviated to DSIT), authorised by the UN's Geneva Convention on Road Traffic of 1949 and the Vienna Convention on Road Traffic of 1968. Many vehicle codes created since the adoption of ISO 3166 coincide with ISO two- or three-letter codes. The 2004 South-East Asian ''Agreement ... for the Facilitation of Cross-Border Transport of Goods and People'' uses a mixture of ISO and DSIT codes: Myanmar uses MYA, China CHN, and Cambodia KH (ISO codes), Thailand uses T (DSIT code), Laos LAO, and Vietnam VN (coincident ISO and DSIT codes).〔(''Agreement between and among the Governments of the Kingdom of Cambodia, the People's Republic of China, the Lao People's Democratic Republic, the Union of Myanmar, the Kingdom of Thailand, and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam for the Facilitation of Cross-Border Transport of Goods and People, Annex 2: Registration of Vehicles in International Traffic'' ), 2004 (also here () and here ())〕 In the European Economic Area, vehicles from one member state do not need to display the oval while within another state, provided the number plate is in the common EU standard format introduced in the 1990s, which includes the international vehicle registration code on the plate.〔 〕 ==Current codes== Note: an asterisk ( *) indicates that this code is unofficial (does not appear in the UN list of distinguishing codes). 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「list of international vehicle registration codes」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
