- About this plate
- GOVERNMENT FLEET PLATES. THE PERMANENT-REGISTRATION FACT is the one to carry into the parse layer: a Guam government plate has no year and no expiry, so era-inference from a validation device silently fails on this series.
- How long it is valid
- PERMANENT. § 7136(b): the registration and registration card for a government vehicle "shall not be renewed annually but shall remain valid until the certificate of ownership for such vehicle is suspended, revoked or canceled by the Department of Revenue and Taxation for cause or upon transfer of any interest in such certificate of ownership." On a change of ownership the vehicle is re-registered as a private vehicle and the government plates are surrendered. § 7136(c) reserves DRT's power to suspend, cancel, revoke or renew a permanent registration when reissue is advisable.
- Fee
- § 7169 addresses fees for government cars separately from the general schedule
