A special registration reserved for official use in Putrajaya (Malaysia’s federal administrative capital). PUTRAJAYA 1-999 plates were not publicly sold; instead, they were assigned to government vehicles and high-ranking officials’ cars when the city was inaugurated in the early 2000s. For instance, the official car of the Prime Minister bore PUTRAJAYA 1, and ministers had two-digit PUTRAJAYA plates. These plates signified authority and were often seen during the initial years of Putrajaya’s operation. As Putrajaya later adopted normal “F” series plates for general vehicles (from 2016 onward), the PUTRAJAYA prefix remained in limited ceremonial use. By mid-2010s, most agencies transitioned to ordinary plates or special “F” numbers (like F 1 for VVIPs). Thus, the PUTRAJAYA series is effectively closed and ultra-exclusive. One might spot them during National Day parades or on vintage state vehicles in Putrajaya. They are not privately transferable (they remain government property). In essence, these plates are special by virtue of designation, representing the city’s name and status.
