FORMER SERIES
(p) From 2003 to May 2008 private plates were black on reflective white, 320×160 mm, and had three sections with vertical and horizontal dividers. To the left was المتحدة (“Emirates”) above أم القيوين above U.A.Q; to the right was an Arabic serial number above a horizontal divider and the western number. The plates were revalidated by rectangular Arabic stickers.
On single line plates, the western number was to the left with the Arabic equivalent to the right. Between was the same legend as on two line plates and there were no vertical dividers. In 2004 there was a change to the dies used for the numbers. Numbers such as 100000 and 999999 existed for those who wished to purchase them. |
