Macedonian vehicle license plates consist of a two-letter region code, followed by a 4-digit numeric (before 2012 3-digits) and a 2-letter alpha code (e.g. SK 2345 MG). There is a blue field on the left side with the international vehicle registration code for Macedonia - MK.

Critical reception
The new europlates are criticised from several design experts and the Macedonian public who insist on using hybrid alphabet instead of latinic script (only the common letters for Cyrillic and latinic scripts to be used). They sent a remark to the constitutional court of Macedonia and the decision is yet to be declared. The "MK" code is also disputed for being placed low. Due to the Macedonia naming dispute, Greece follows a standard policy in which Greek border guards cover the letters "MK" on Macedonian car plates with a sticker, in Greek and English, reading: “Recognized by Greece as FYROM” .
