Custom Slovak plate (voliteľné EČV) — how it works

Planning a custom Slovak plate (officially a plate with a registration number on request)? This free tool checks whether your combination is allowed, previews the plate, and gives a rough availability hint.

What are the rules for a custom plate?

Exactly 7 characters. The first two must be letters (A–Z). After them any mix of letters and digits, but the whole must differ from the standard plate shape (2 letters + 3 digits + 2 letters). No diacritics or lowercase.

Which combinations are forbidden?

The plate must not start with CD, CC, CH, EE, SS or ZZ. Profanity and offensive terms are banned. Since 1 Sep 2026 (Act 131/2026) so are names, designations and abbreviations of Slovak or foreign state bodies, municipalities, regions, EU and international bodies, political parties and movements — including combinations confusable with them or suggesting affiliation to them.

Must an electric vehicle use an EL/EV plate?

No. The green EL/EV plate is voluntary and issued only on request. EL/EV may be used only by an electric or hydrogen vehicle; an ordinary car cannot.

How much does a custom plate cost and how to apply?

The administrative fee is €250 per plate, so €500 for a car with two plates. Filing electronically via slovensko.sk lowers it to €200 per plate (50 % discount capped at €50). Apply at the vehicle registration office or electronically via the MV SR / slovensko.sk portal. Source: Act 145/1995, item 76(d) of the fee schedule, verified 9/2026.
