SerreChe 2 Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Always been curious, does anybody know where one can find the list of country codes with regards to the first 2 digits of diplomatic license plates in Japan. My google searches are fruitless. Link to post Share on other sites
veronica 2 Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 I can't help SerreChe, but I'm interested.. what for? Link to post Share on other sites
marnix 0 Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 I used to have a list. but I think I threw it away when I moved. There must be an official list by Gaimusho, but I got one that was made by some embassy drivers, but it was a complete list (back then). basically it is in alphabetical order, although recently a lot of 'new' countries opened an embassy in Tokyo. Those countries were just added to the list. Then there are some embassies having so many cars driving around that they have more than 1 number (USA, Russia, China, Korea and some others) From what I remember 02 Argentina 03 Australia 05 Brasil 09 Chile 10 China 38 Korea 48 Korea 58 Netherlands 68 Pakistan The first 2 or 3 digits is the country code the last 2 digits is the car number. If the car has 01 as last digits it is the official ambassadors car, but all other numbers can be at random (or not) Link to post Share on other sites

SerreChe 2 Posted April 7, 2008 Author Share Posted April 7, 2008 I was just wondering what country was starting by 63 since when I drop my kid to nursery I always see this car with a blue plate starting by that number. Just plain curiosity. I found a site explaining the diffence between embassador, etc... http://www.tigerdude.com/japan/license/diplo.html so what could possible fall between 58 and 68 posted by Sanno above? I assume it is in alphabetical order based on the english name. CB, I know where you live, I have the means to make you confess sins you have not even thought about commiting yet...

marnix 0 Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 SerreChe, 63 is Pakistan, not 68. Also Netherlands is 53, not 58. Link to post Share on other sites
marnix 0 Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 My neighboors were Pakistani and after your question I looked up some old pictures (including one with their license plate on it) Link to post Share on other sites
