Frequently Asked Questions
Which plates are supported?
It supports the code lookup for blue plates (standard civilian), green plates (new energy), and yellow plates (large vehicles) across provinces and cities. The first two characters locate the province and city.
Can I look up the vehicle owner?
No. This lookup only shows the province and city the plate belongs to. It cannot retrieve the owner's name or phone — that personal information is protected by law.
What does the letter code mean?
The second letter represents the city, e.g. 苏E is Suzhou and 京A is central Beijing. Letters are roughly assigned by administrative level, and some cities have dedicated codes.
Can special plates like military or embassy be looked up?
Military (WJ), police, and embassy plates follow separate rules and are outside the standard civilian lookup. This tool covers civilian plates only.
