Plat Kuning Artinya

Yellow plates are vehicle license plates specifically used for public transportation. In addition to yellow plates, vehicles in Indonesia use several other colors. Each of these colors has its own meaning. Rather than being curious about these colors, let's take a look at the review below. 

List of Vehicle License Plate Colors in Indonesia 

Here is a list of vehicle license plate colors used in Indonesia along with their meanings that you need to know. 

1. Yellow plate

A vehicle license plate with a yellow background and black lettering indicates that the plate is used for public transportation purposes. 

2. White plate

For license plates with a white background and black lettering, they are used for private or rental vehicles, legal entities, international organizations, and foreign diplomatic representatives (PNA). 

This white plate replaces the black plate with white lettering, which is no longer valid. The change in plate color has been regulated in Police Regulation No. 17 of 2021. Meanwhile, for white plates with black lettering accompanied by a special blue color, these plates are used for electric vehicles. 

In addition, white plates are also used for vehicles of the diplomatic corps of foreign countries. For diplomatic corps plates, the lettering is usually in blue. 

3. Red plate

A plate with a red background and white lettering is used for government service vehicles.

4. Green plate

Green plates with black lettering indicate that these plates are for vehicles operating in free trade areas, thus exempt from import duties. 

5. Black plate

Before 2021, the use of black plates with white lettering was for private vehicles, legal entities, international organizations, and PNA. However, since 2021, these black plates are specifically used for operational staff vehicles of foreign diplomatic corporations. 

These black plates have a special characteristic, namely white lettering accompanied by five digits and a country code. The lettering is printed in a smaller size and uses a sub-section format. 

In addition to the colors above, license plates in Indonesia also use other colors. For example, a license plate with a black background but framed in yellow with the addition of the Polri emblem. If you encounter a plate with that color, it means that the plate is specifically used for police service vehicles.

1. TNI Headquarters

The license plate used has a red background with yellow lettering and framing accompanied by the TNI headquarters emblem on the left side.
