The first one to three letters in front of the German license plate are the city code, indicating the place where the car is registered. Usually, the German name of a city is abbreviated. The bigger the city, the less letters are used, such as B- Berlin, F- Frankfurt, H- Hanover, M- Munich, S- Stuttgart, BN- Bonn and IN- Ingostanta (Audi headquarters).

There is also an H before the Lufthansa Alliance city code, such as HH- Hamburg and HB- Bremen. The city code is followed by the annual inspection mark and the badge of the state where it is located. The following numbers consist of one or two letters and one or four numbers. It can be a serial number issued according to the registration order, or a personalized number selected by the owner. If there is no zero before the number, 1 1 means1,001,so it is not needed.

The license plate number in Germany usually consists of abbreviations, letters and numbers. Some Germans use this combination rule to give the license plate a new meaning. License plates with letters such as "HJ", "KZ", "NS" and "SA" are banned in Germany, because these license plates have the meanings of Hitler and Nazi and were favored by neo-Nazis in the past.
