## About this plate

The two-plate display requirement is the fact worth carrying: if Alaska now issues one plate to passenger vehicles, then a two-plate vehicle on an Alaska road is a strong signal of dealer or commercial status.

## Permitted use

AS 28.10.181(j), from the December 2007 reproduction: a state-registered and bonded vehicle dealer may apply for dealer plates, usable "only on dealer-owned vehicles during the routine and normal course of the dealer's business, EXCLUDING SERVICE VEHICLES, or for transporting an unregistered vehicle from a port of entry to the dealer's facilities or from one dealer to another or, in the case of a house trailer, from the retail facility to a trailer space." A vehicle running on dealer plates "must be affixed with TWO plates issued under this subsection", which is notable given that Alaska now issues one plate to ordinary passenger vehicles: the dealer plate may be the state's remaining two-plate case. After a sale the buyer may use the dealer plates for NOT MORE THAN FIVE DAYS. The department may seize plates it believes are being used to defeat the chapter.
