About this plate
GEORGIA'S PLAIN PEACH PLATE, the canonical standard base, and the one the agency itself treats as canonical: DOR states that prestige (vanity) plates issue ONLY on "the standard peach plate background", which distinguishes it from its Peach Orchard sibling as a matter of official practice rather than of appearance. The statutory "Peach State" advertising clause is the entry's best find: Georgia does not merely permit a peach on its plate, it directs the commissioner to use the plate to advertise the state, which is a legislative theory of what a license plate is FOR and one no other state in this group states.
How numbers are issued
reported: exclusively PFA1000 to PLZ9999 and QFA1000 to QFP6449 on this plain-peach base, running alongside the Peach Orchard base's own blocks.
