The current vehicle registration plates, which have been used since 2008, are rectangular in shape and made of aluminum. The top part has the word "Egypt" in English (all uppercase) and Arabic in black font on backgrounds of different colors depending on the type of license the vehicle is given. Motorbikes have smaller plates which are similar but much with light blue (private motorbikes) and dark blue (police motorbikes) the only colors available.
The most recent version used Calibri typeface for English text EGYPT/POLICE and Square Kufic typeface for Arabic text since 2022.

To reduce the risk of confusion on account of the visual similarity between Arabic letters, only a limited number of letters are used. They and the Latin letters the Egyptian government uses to correspond to them are:
