Vehicle registration plates of the Luhansk People's Republic

The Luhansk People's Republic initiated a system of vehicle registration plates in May 2016.[1] The plates were recognized as valid in the Russian Federation, alongside those of the Donetsk People's Republic, in February 2017.[2]

On 21 December 2022 the terms of license plate issuance changed. Russian plates were first issued on that day with the Code 181, after The Luhansk People’s Republic ostensibly became a part of Russia on September 30, 2022 following the unification referendum. Residents with LPR or Ukrainian vehicle registration completed before 14 December 2022 were required to re-register by 1 January 2026 with no extra costs.[3]
