High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! In Albania, vehicle registration plates are issued by the regional directorates of transport.The regional code is a two-letter abbreviation of a district name. For instance, the abbreviation for the Tirana district is TR. A four-digit number and a letter follow. The letter indicates the order of allocation of each series of numbers. Thus, a plate ending in M will have been more recently released than one ending in L in the same district. Since 2002, a new, smaller font has been introduced. The numbers and letters running on a Latin alphabet system show the amount of vehicles registered in that district. If the last letter is "Y", then it means that a particular district has 21x10000=210.000 (two hundred ten thousand) registered cars - the letters O, Q and Z are not used.
