Tajikistan Car Number Index

For the first time license plates on cars of Tajikistan appeared at the time of Tajikistan's joining the USSR . From that time until 1996, the country used Soviet-style license plates belonging to the Tajik SSR .

In 1996, Tajikistan introduced license plates of its own design, made in the image and likeness of license plates of the Russian Federation .

In 2009-2010, in Tajikistan, license plates of a new type began to be issued, markedly different from the previous ones. At the same time, new types of rooms appeared, for example, for public transport and for vehicles of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

In April 2014, the license plates slightly changed - the size of the letters became equal to the size of the numbers, and a chip appeared under the TJ code.

New license plates differ significantly from previously issued ones. The flag of the Republic of Tajikistan and the car code “TJ” appeared on the signs, the region code was no longer written in a separate window, license plate elements were swapped.

As the letters in the previous format, the letters of the Tajik Cyrillic alphabet are used , similar in spelling to the Latin ones, namely: A, B, E, K, M, H, O, P, C, T, X. Since 2014 the rooms also use the Latin letters D and Y.
