About this plate
The FRONTERIZO private-car plate, issued in the border zone only, by the seven entities Apéndice C lists (Baja California, Baja California Sur, Coahuila, Chiapas, Chihuahua, Sonora, Tamaulipas). Its ranges live in the Z-tail of the national space, deliberately far from the ordinary private allocation. Border trucks, buses and trailers take AAA-000-A, the SAME shape as the ordinary private CAR series, and are told apart only by range, which is the sharpest reason this jurisdiction needs a decode file rather than a prefix rule.
