- About this plate
- MISSISSIPPI MOTORCYCLE PLATES. Its own series on the §2.3 design test (reduced size) and its own serial space. The plate size is the weakest claim in the entry and is flagged: 7x4 in is the regional convention and no Mississippi instrument stating it was obtained, unlike Alabama, whose department publishes the figure. The entry earns its place for the stacked-character finding rather than for its dimensions.
Legal basis and sources
- the DOR's plate catalogue establishes that Mississippi serializes non-passenger types separately https://www.dor.ms.gov/motor-vehicle/available-license-plates
- AAMVA Ed.3: stacked characters are part of the official plate number, at most two stacked, the rule that makes MC serial rather than decoration https://www.aamva.org/getmedia/646bcc8a-219b-47d8-b5cd-726240473163/License-Plate-Standard-Edition-3_September-2025-U...
