Mercosur license plates (in implementation since 2019) In October 2014, in the Salón Libertador of the Palacio San Martín in Buenos Aires, the new Unique Mercosur Patent was presented. On that date, the States Parties to Mercosur approved Resolution 033/14, which established its mandatory use as of January 1, 2016. The first country to implement its use was Uruguay, in March 2015 , Argentina in April 2016 and Brazil in October 2018. First it would be mandatory only for 0 km vehicles, and then gradually for all.

In Paraguay, the registration of 0 km vehicles should have been mandatory since the beginning of 2016, while the reregistration of used cars would be progressive but initially optional, but it was postponed on several occasions.
