## About this plate

THE AMATEUR RADIO PLATE EARNS ITS OWN ENTRY BECAUSE ITS SERIAL COMES FROM OUTSIDE THE STATE ENTIRELY. Alaska legislates that the plate number MUST BE an identifier issued by a federal regulator to a person, not to the vehicle, not by the DMV, and not from any Alaska series.

## Fee

$0 initial, $0 renewal (Alaska DMV catalogue, 'Amateur Radio (Call Sign)').
