## About this plate

What the release does NOT give is the serial ARRANGEMENT: 123 ABC is the article's, and the release supports only the LENGTH ("as we start getting into 6-digit numbering").

## How numbers are issued

The 16 November 2022 news release explains the change in the Minister's own words: "It has been almost a decade since Prince Edward Island introduced a new license plate design and it is time for a refresh. The traditional, simple design will allow greater visibility AS WE START GETTING INTO 6-DIGIT NUMBERING." That is an agency statement that the serial LENGTHENED to six characters with this base, the predecessor ran five and six, and it is the only progression claim in this file from a government source.
