Ethiopian Licence Plate Maker

About the Ethiopian Licence Plate Maker

A graphic designer working on a video set in Addis Ababa needs a realistic-looking Ethiopian plate to dress a prop vehicle. An educator teaching about Ethiopian administrative regions wants to show students what a regional plate looks like. An automotive blogger writing about Ethiopian car culture wants to illustrate different vehicle categories. This tool generates correctly formatted sample plates for all four major Ethiopian plate types, ready to download as images.

Ethiopian vehicle registration plates follow a structured system with distinct formats for different vehicle categories. Private vehicles carry plates with two letters, five digits, and a trailing letter on a white background. Government vehicles use an ET prefix with a red border. Diplomatic Corps vehicles, belonging to embassies and international organisations, carry CD-prefixed plates with blue text and a blue border. Temporary transit plates use a TT prefix with an amber border. Each plate displays the official bilingual header reading "ኢትዮጵያ ETHIOPIA" as seen on actual issued plates.

Select a plate type, customise the text fields with the number or code you want, and the tool renders a preview in real time as an SVG. Download it as a PNG for use in mockups, presentations, or printed materials. The output is suitable for reference and design purposes, not for official use.
