About this plate
THE PREVIOUS GEORGIA STANDARD BASE. Two things earn it a place beyond being the predecessor. Second, it is a URL: a US state put its own web address on its standard plate for nine years, and changed the plate when the 'www.' fell out of fashion. Design elements that date themselves that precisely are rare and worth recording, because they let a plate photograph be dated without any serial-range table at all. The 2012 overlap year is the rollout, with old stock issuing on.
How numbers are issued
reported: intermittently from AVN 0001 to approximately AWB 1750, then exclusively AWB 1751 to approximately CAQ 9999, with the CAA-CAQ range appearing intermittently across this base and its successor.
