A Saudi plate in the article is bilingual on purpose. Three Arabic letters sit with their Latin transliteration, and the number uses Western Arabic digits, up to four of them. The ground is white. The identification strip carries the coat of arms, KSA and the official seal. The linked article describes a white strip for private cars, yellow for public transport and green for diplomatic vehicles. Its position depends on plate layout, rather than a universal change to a central green band.

Digits and withdrawn combinations

A standard issue pads the number to four digits. A plate that already exists, or a personalized one, may carry one, two, or three digits. From 2009 the authorities withdrew combinations they did not want on the road, including strings read as SEX or ASS, and the article’s figure for recalled combinations is about 90,000. I am repeating that figure as the article’s number, not as a live inventory.

Two blank sizes

The US-proportion blank, 335 by 155 mm, is the standard in the article. The article conflicts with itself on the long blank: the infobox states 520×110 mm, while the body states 550×110 mm. Both are retained here as a source discrepancy. If you are mocking a car photographed in the Kingdom, start with the shorter US-proportion plate. Use a reference photo to select a layout; the unresolved long-blank measurement is not presented as a legal specification.

Absher is the government portal in the source list. The fetch returned a block, so I am not describing its forms. Draw three letters and four digits in the preview. The country index is the way back to Japan or the UK if this was the wrong format.

Questions

How many letters appear?

The plate article says only 17 Arabic letters are used. I do not print a homemade 17-letter alphabet here because I want the article’s table, not my transliteration, to be the authority.

Do short numbers get leading zeros?

Standard plates always show four digits, with zeros padding a shorter number. Personalized or older plates may show one to three digits.
