Vehicle class
Trailer: trailers and semi-trailers where separately serialized. Issued for trailer.
About this plate
TRAILER. Included for the same reason as the motorcycle entry, the one-plate issuance rule is statutory and separates the class, and with the same honest thinness. The permanent-registration route is flagged because a permanently registered trailer is the kind of vehicle that still carries a base two generations old, which matters to any era inference built on Alaska plates.
