Polska
Polish plates begin with a voivodeship letter and one or two further district letters, followed by a locally allocated serial. Warsaw uses many W-led combinations.

The integrated or adjacent international identifier is PL.
Motorcycles, trailers and restricted mounting spaces may use a dedicated stacked or compact physical format.
Diplomatic, temporary, trade, historic or public-service vehicles use protected combinations that sit outside the ordinary sequence.
