About this plate
GUAM STANDARD ISSUE, CURRENT BASE. It is minted as a dated series (rather than left undated as in Florida and Puerto Rico) only because two independent sources agree AND because the previous base has a demonstrably different serial arrangement, so the boundary is a format boundary and not merely a styling change. THE STRENGTH OF THIS ENTRY IS ELSEWHERE: the two-plate rule, the mandatory word "Guam", the year-or-device rule and the rectangular shape are all quoted from an edict of government.
About the format
THE TWO-LETTER / FOUR-NUMERAL ARRANGEMENT IS NOT STATUTORY.
