Vehicle registration plates of Sri Lanka (known in Sri Lanka as "Number plates") started soon after introduction of motorcars in 1903.
Initially the numbers started with Q, and the oldest existing plate is "Q 53" of a 1903 Wolsley. Later the island was divided into sections from "A " to "Z" (Ex A 123 ), then after World War II it changed to the two Roman letter plates combining pairs of letters in the word CEYLON .
These series were CL XXXX , EY XXXX, EL XXXx . Afterwards in 1956 a new system with the Sinhala script letter Sri (ශ්රී) in the middle was introduced, this started from Reg no "1 Sri 1".
The current version started in 2000. It was developed by the German Utsch AG using a variation of the FE-Schrift. As of 2013 a new system with 3 English letters starting from AAA 0001 has been introduced.
since RMV folks change their minds more frequently than a model changes her dresses in a fashion show...
For example - the initial set of 64 - numbers were allocated to converted vehicles. 64-0XXX numbers were actually in existence even while 32- was being issued. After running out of 32- numbers, 64- became the norm for all newly registered diesel cars
For a very short time period, RMV issued G-numbers for any vehicle that was bought off forces/DPL auctions. Im not sure how many such numbers were issued. Later they restarted 325- series, then EA- series and also FZ- series for ex-DPL cars.
There are only a few (around 1500 i think) 302- numbered vehicles on the road. You need to be a little careful in buying a 302- vehicle because there have been one or two instances where fake 302-plate vehicles have been found. Cops know the last issued 302- number so only a 'special' person can play that trick now.
There was a time when 325- and 227- (not really sure about the latter) numbers were allocated for vehicles which were convetred from petrol to diesel or vehicles that were bought from the forces. But not anymore. Nowadays if a 19- vehicle is converted to diesel, it will still retain 19- afaik.
EA- EB- EC- EK- FW- are also issued for vehicles which were converted to english numbers. Just the number has changed. Nothing else.
I havent heard of any exceptions involving 300-, 301-, 65-, 54-, 56- numbers.
99 was started after the completion of 65- series, only very few as GA- series started in August 2000, according to my memory
Earlier the converted vehicles got the ongoing numbers
Eg ; if someone converted a 10 sri car in to diesel in 1998 or 1999, he got 65- series number
So there may be converted cars with 99 plates.
325 was given for converted vehicles therafter, ( that was began in year 2000 as if I can remember)

Old “Sri “vehicles get new registration numbers with English letters
Sri Lanka’s old vehicles using the licence number plates with Sinhala auspicious letter 'Sri' are now being issued with new registration numbers with English letters. This was initiated by the Department of Motor Traffic with the approval of the cabinet, Commissioner General of Motor Traffic, B.D.L Dharmapriya said.
He added that owners of 36 vehicles have changed their number plates from the 'Sri' numbers to English letters, so far. Old vehicles that bear 'Sri' numbers can obtain numbers with English letters after paying Rs. 20,000 to the Registrar of Motor Vehicles Department. The old vehicles will be issued numbers from AA 0001 to FZ 9999, he added. The issue of English numbers has commenced from GA 0001.
Sri Lanka shifted from 'Sri' numbers to two English letters smoothly in 2000 although the introduction of Sinhala 'Sri' letter in the 1950s roused Tamil protest and communal violence following it. The current series of car registrations in Sri Lanka was introduced in 2000 and is on yellow number plates with black characters and a black border.
On the left hand side of the number plate is the country emblem, below which a two-letter region identifier is e.g. WP represents the Western Province. The format of the remainder of the registration is LL – DDDD, with L being a letter and D being a number.
The previous series of registrations had been in effect since 1956 and was on brighter yellow plates with the format DD – DDDD. Also they didn’t have any national emblem or region identifier. Taxis have white number plates with red lettering, Mr. Dharmapriya said.
The department will begin issuing number plates with three English letters for the newly registered vehicles after the present series is completed.
Production of number plates for three letter numbers have already begun and 1600 number plates a day are produced now, said a department official.
The year 1957 was marked by much friction over the issue of the 'Sri' letter in vehicle number plates.
The earlier system was to use English alphabet letters from the country's name CEYLON (CE, CL, CN, EY, EN etc. The then SWRD Bandaranaike government wanted it to begin with the Sinhala 'Sri.' Tamil politicians resented this as a form of Sinhala imposition.
They protested and demanded that the Tamil 'Shree' also be substituted. Ironically there was no letter 'Shree' in the Tamil alphabet. The 'Shree' used was derived from Sanskrit. On January 19, 1957 the Federal Party began an anti-Sri campaign in the northeast. Vehicles began running with Tamil letters. The 'Sinhala' Sri was changed into the Sanskrit derived 'Tamil' Shree.
