History
First issued	1930

The Dominican Republic requires its residents to register their motor vehicles and display vehicle registration plates.[1] Current plates are North American standard 6 × 12 inches (152 × 300 mm).

Passenger baseplates

The Dominican Republic issued a single plate to each vehicle twice a year. The 1st (1º) period of each year was 1 January to 30 June, and the 2nd (2º) period was 1 July to 31 December. The period number is shown on each plate, and the tables below shown these as either "1st" or "2nd" to differentiate the two plates. The colors of the two periods in each year were also different so it was easy to spot who had not paid the latest registration cost.
