![]() ![]() Monthly system - as follows (NOV and DEC are not used for passenger)Ī new series has been introduced since it appears that October has run through the full series, which would have ended with 99Z Z90. With July in the fourth series with the 37 suffix, a 77 suffix appeared. Even worse, when July plates were still in the second series with the 17 suffix, a 97 suffix was reported. ![]() No explanation has been given for this large jump. ![]() The 16, 26, and 36 series should have been issued before any 46 plates could appear. When the June high was still in the first series, which would have had the plate ending in 06, a mysterious 46 was reported. There have been at least three distinct discrepancies observed in this issue to date. Upon reaching 99Z Z10, the next plate issued would be 10A A20. The final plate in that sequence would be 99Z Z00, then the next to last number would change from 0 (zero) to 1, so the next series would begin at 10A A10, then 11A A10, and on up to 99A A10, then 10A B10. After 99A Z00, the next plate would be 10B A00, and the series would continue in the same pattern. The first plate of the new type for October would have been 10A A00, then 11A A00 and on up to 99A A00, then 10A B00, 11A B00, and on up to 99A B00. Just as 0 (zero) was used in the last position on the October plates, 8 appears in the last position on the August plates. As usual for Massachusetts, the last digit corresponds to the month of expiration. Here is what our collective observations have revealed about the progression: The lowest number in the October month format was 10A A00. The date of first issue for the plates was November 1, 2001. That format is still being issued for all months except October, keeping in mind that there are no passenger plates issued with November or December expirations.Ī new plate configuration started in 2001 for the October month series, and then spread to the other months as needed. The next format was the complicated 12A B34 format that is explained below. The original Spirit plates were in the 3 number/3 letter format from WAA through ZZZ, followed by the 1234 AB format. The Spirit of America plate that has been issued in pairs is still in use in four formats, the latest of which has just been released. The green on white plate that was issued as a single is still in use in an all numeric six digit style (123-456) and a 3 number/3 letter style from AAA through VZZ. Massachusetts has two bases in use in several formats. Massachusetts License Plates Massachusetts License Plates ![]()
