Vehicle registration plates of Mozambique

[2] The background to the plate darkens from completely white on the top to light blue at the bottom.

Depending on the lighting, some plates appear to have an almost completely blue background that darkens from the top to the bottom.

Additionally, there is a die stamped serial number at the lower right in very small characters.

Single row plates are in the format ABC 123 followed by the Mozambique crest and then two more letters that represent the province where the car is registered.

Since the largest population center is around Maputo City, the vast majority of registrations show either the "MC" or "MP" code.
