## About this plate

THE INTERESTING STRUCTURAL FACT is § 7128(c)'s composite serial: a "general distinguishing number" identifies the DEALER and a further number or symbol distinguishes each plate WITHIN that dealer's allocation. That is a two-level namespace inside a single plate serial, and it is the kind of thing a parse API can decode once the grammar is known, so the absence of the grammar is flagged as a high-value gap rather than shrugged off.

## About the format

The composite structure above is the thing to encode when a Guam primary finally gives the grammar.

## Who can have one

§ 7127: a dealer or distributor may operate an otherwise-registrable vehicle on the highways WITHOUT REGISTERING IT "solely for the purpose of testing, demonstrating, repairing, delivering, servicing, storing or selling such vehicle", on condition that a special plate issued to that owner is displayed. § 7128(a) requires a written application with proof of bona fide dealer or distributor status; § 7128(b) requires DRT to issue a CERTIFICATE listing the plates assigned.

## Fee

§ 7170: forty dollars ($40.00) for each special plate issued to or renewed by a dealer or distributor
