About this plate
THE BLACKOUT PLATE. Modelled as a STANDARD-class series, not a specialty one, because the Department of Revenue presents it on the same page and under the same 2024-2029 series label as the standard passenger plate, it is a second standard base, not a cause plate.
About the format
THE ARRANGEMENT IS REVERSED FROM THE STANDARD BASE, numerals first, letters second, which means a Mississippi serial's SHAPE alone distinguishes a blackout plate from a standard one.
