Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Visualization of the license plate serial formats in the United States, based on current serial formats for passenger plates as of November 2020. The arrangement of the digits may vary.

Random coding:

  •      - Plates issued based on available numbers in non-sequential order
  •      - Plates issued based on blocks of alphanumeric combinations

Coded issuance:

  •      - Plates coded by month of expiration
  •      - Plates coded by county of issuance

Sequential issuance:

  •      - 6-digit plate (1 letter, 5 numbers)
  •      - 6-digit plate (2 letters, 4 numbers)
  •      - 6-digit plate (3 letters, 3 numbers)
  •      - 6-digit plate (4 letters, 2 numbers)
  •      - 7-digit plate (7 numbers)
  •      - 7-digit plate (2 letters, 5 numbers)
  •      - 7-digit plate (3 letters, 4 numbers)

Notes:

  • Only the current passenger standard-issue serial format is depicted. Previous serial formats and optional issues are not depicted.
  • Florida uses 6-digit serials, but the combinations vary. The most popular issue consists of 4 letters and 2 numbers, but alternate standard issues contain 3 numbers and 3 letters.
  • Nebraska uses sequential-issuance 3-letter, 3-number plates for its most populous counties and county-coded plates for the rest of the counties.
