UA designates Ukraine on vehicle license plates. "UA" is the international code from the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 standard for Ukraine, appearing on the left blue strip of Ukrainian plates, similar to European formats with the national flag above it.

Ukrainian Plate Format

Ukrainian plates, introduced in 2004, follow the structure of two letters, four numbers, and two letters (e.g., AB 1234 AB), using only letters common to Latin and Cyrillic alphabets like A, B, C, E, H, I, K, M, O, P, T, X. Standard plates have black letters on a white background, while buses use yellow; state vehicles may start with "II".

International Recognition

This code enables cross-border vehicle identification under the Vienna Convention on Road Traffic, distinguishing Ukrainian vehicles from others like UK (United Kingdom).
