The Luhansk People's Republic has had a system of vehicle registration plates since May 2016.[1] The plates were recognized as valid in the Russian Federation, alongside the plates of the neighboring Donetsk People's Republic, in February 2017.[2]
On 21 December 2022 there was a change in terms of license plate issuing. Russian plates were first issued on that day with the Code 181, after The Lugansk People’s Republic became a part of Russia on September 30, 2022 following the unification referendum. The residents with LPR or Ukrainian vehicle registration completed before 14 December 2022 have to re-register by 1 January 2026 with no extra costs.[3]
