Vehicle registration plates of Serbia display black alphanumeric characters on a white background with blue field placed along the left side edge.
Issuance of current registration plates started on 1 January 2011 and they were used alongside the old ones during the transitional period until the end of 2011.
Standard plates The two-letter regional code is followed by three or four-digit numeric code separated by the Serbian cross shield and a Cyrillic letter combination for the region below, and then followed by a two-letter alpha code, separated by a hyphen.
A blue field is placed along the left side edge, as in European Union countries, bearing SRB (the ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 country code for Serbia).
Numeric code contains combination of three or four digits (0-9), while two letter alpha code is made of combination of letters using Serbian Latin alphabet, with addition of letter X (e.g., BG 123-AA or BG 1234-AA). Since 2017 plates with the special "hooked" letters of the Serbian latin alphabet (Ć, Č, Š, Ž, Đ) as well as letters Y and W are no longer issued.
The standard dimensions of a Serbian license plates are 520.5 × 112.9 mm.

Additionally, plates have vertically orientated two-letter initials in small letters on the left side (after blue stripe) indicating the city in which they were issued (BG for Belgrade) and two numbers on the right side indicating the year for which they are valid (e.g., 12 for 2012).
