Diplomatic number plates are special
Diplomatic number plates on the trains of the embassies and diplomatic missions of various countries in India are different and distinct from the vehicles of common Indian citizens. These numbers are a special system of plates, which have been designed under security, identity and international rules.
Diplomatic number plate system
Diplomatic number plates in India are blue. On which numbers and letters are written in white color. These plates start with ‘CD’, ‘CC’ or ‘UN’.
- DC means Diplomatic Corps
- CC means Consular Corps
- Un means united nations
Car numbers of foreign diplomats in India start with these three codes. There is a code of the country ahead of them. For example, America’s code is 77 and Russia’s 75. China 17 and Great Britain’s 11. 1 of Afghanistan is the code of Pakistan 68. Similarly, the codes of other countries are fixed.

Who releases the number plate?
Diplomatic number plates in India are released by the Protocol Division of the Ministry of External Affairs. When an embassy or mission buys a car, he applies to the Ministry of External Affairs. The Ministry of External Affairs allotes the number according to the code prescribed for that country or mission. Arvind Kumar Pandey, who was the Additional Transport Director of Uttar Pradesh, says that after this the Transport Department issues a diplomatic number plate for that train, but this process is done only after the permission and verification of the Ministry of External Affairs.
Technical and legal feature of diplomatic number plate
Diplomatic number plates are not only different in appearance, but their legal status is also special. These trains get some exemption and privilege, such as parking, traffic challans, and sometimes exemption from search etc. The owners of these trains get such diplomatic discounts under the Vienna Convention. The data of these number plates is safe with the Ministry of External Affairs and police or other agencies take information from there only if needed.
Control of diplomatic number plate
The entire control of these number plates is with the Ministry of External Affairs, Government of India. The Ministry of External Affairs allotes a certain code for every country or mission. The record of each car remains near Mea, which contains the model of the car, color, owner (diplomat/mission), and other details. When a car is sold or leaves the country, the Ministry of External Affairs has to inform it and return the number plate.

Identification and action of fake diplomatic number plates
Putting fake diplomatic number plates is a serious offense. The police and the traffic department have a complete list of real diplomatic number plates, which are updated from the Ministry of External Affairs from time to time. If a vehicle has a diplomatic number plate, the police can immediately find out his number from the records of the Ministry of External Affairs whether it is real or not. Many times fake number plates are detected on the basis of traffic checking, CCTV surveillance or any complaint. If the fake number plate is found, there is a provision to file a case in the serious section against the owner.
Hitech security of diplomatic number plate
Nowadays many security features are also being added to diplomatic number plates, such as a security registration plate, barcode or QR code, holograms, special fonts and reflective materials etc. These help in preventing forgery and the real-fake identification becomes easier.
Diplomatic number plates are very important in India in terms of international relations, security and law and order. Their system is completely under the control of the Ministry of External Affairs and every activity is monitored. Putting fake number plates is not only illegal, but is also a threat to the security of the country. Therefore, strict monitoring is done at both technical and administrative levels to prevent their misuse. Even ordinary citizens should also inform the police or concerned agency if they see the suspected diplomatic number plate on a car, so that the security and law and order of the country remains.
