## About this plate

ARKANSAS CURRENT ISSUE, SAME PLATE, NEW NUMBER SHAPE.

## Region code notes

no geographic encoding in the serial and none reported historically; Arkansas is the plainest of the four states in this group on that axis.

## How numbers are issued

Note this begins at AAA, i.e. the 2021 arrangement RESTARTED the alphabet rather than continuing the previous sequence, the opposite of Oklahoma, whose serials run straight through a base change.
