Vehicle registration plates of Georgia (U.S. state)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The U.S. state of Georgia first required its residents to register and display license plates on their motor vehicles in 1910. Since then the state has used a variety of license plate designs, including different designs for passenger, non-passenger, and, more recently, specialty or optional plates.

[edit] Valid passenger baseplates

All plates issued since 1997 remain valid for display. The original serial formats on the 1997 base are 000 AAA, 0000 AA (though not all letter series), and 00000 QA with narrow dies. Later a format of 0000 AAA is introduced and runs until the mid-AWT series before the base and serial format are changed.

The 2005 plate continued the serial sequence of the prior base, which was not invalidated. Beginning at AVA 0001, the debossed left sticker box is removed, as the state switched to a single sticker that shows both month and year of expiry, something that would be continued on the 2007 base.

The 2007 base retains the peach state outline graphic, but it is shifted to the center of the plate, instead of being slightly off-center to the left as in the previous design.

[edit] Non-passenger and specialty plates

Main article: Non-passenger and special vehicle registration plates of Georgia (U.S. state)

The state of Georgia offers many specialty or optional license plates, most at an extra cost to motorists. The state streamlined the ever-growing number of limited-issuance plates by instituting two-letter prefixes for almost all types other than standard passenger plates. Most of these plate types first appeared on the www.GEORGIA.gov base 2003 and are currently migrating to the new GEORGIA.gov base.

The state also offers plates for non-passenger vehicles, such as trucks, school buses, and governmental vehicles.

A list of the state's current offerings can be found at the Georgia Department of Revenues website. [1]
