- About this plate
- GUAM'S RESERVED OFFICIAL PLATE NUMBERS. TWO CAVEATS ON ITS FACE. Second, the range notation "2-C through 2-Z" is a STATUTORY RANGE, not an observed one; whether Guam has ever issued 2-Q or 3-X is unknown and is not claimed.
- How numbers are issued
- § 7122: within an office held by more than one person, plates issue "in sequence based upon their LAST NAMES IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER", except Superior Court Judges, who are sequenced BY SENIORITY. A serial that encodes alphabetical position is unusual enough to be worth recording; one that switches to seniority for a single office is a genuine curiosity.
- Who can have one
- § 7122: these are issued to the named officials FOR USE ON THEIR PRIVATELY-OWNED VEHICLES, on assumption of office, and must be SURRENDERED to the Department on removal from office for any cause. The section expressly preserves the ordinary registration and licensing requirements for those vehicles, and expressly does not prevent separate issuance of government-of- Guam plates to official government-owned vehicles.
