License plate decoder

Description

The plate number identifies a car in a unique way. Parking can be easily managed with a defined list of permitted and prohibited cars. This can facilitate access to an event or permission to park in an area. It can also help to pre-fill a form in the field, such as an accident report.

  • Our license plate decoder is currently capable of scanning plates from 26 European countries.
  • For most countries, we support the common EU number plate format as defined by Council Regulation (EC) No 2411/98 of 03.11.1998.
