Nebraska (United States) license plate, Dealer (2023 to today), sample 63-V608

Format, years and the law

Format
99-L999, for example 63-V608 (L is any letter, 9 any digit)

The format above is broad: a registration that fits it has the right shape, which does not show that this series issued it.

Years issued
2023 to today. Still issued.
Vehicle class
Dealer: trade/garage plates bound to a business, not a vehicle. Issued for car, van, truck, trailer, and motorcycle.
About this plate
The fact worth carrying forward is the RESERVED DESIGNATION: Nebraska's 94 and South Dakota's statutory 77 are the same design idea in two states, put the trade in the county slot, above the real county range, and a decode table that treats the leading number as unconditionally geographic will mis-resolve every dealer plate in both states. Recorded on both files for that reason.
About the format
This is a real, small limitation of the pattern DSL rather than a gap in the evidence, and it will recur for any jurisdiction whose fixed prefix contains a 9.
Who can have one
dealers and manufacturers licensed through the Nebraska Motor Vehicle Industry Licensing Board; the dealer presents a Treasurer's Certificate for Issuance of Dealer Plates to the county treasurer where the dealership is located
Fee
first dealer plate $38.80 total, itemised across county fund, DMV registration, recreation road, highway trust motor vehicle registration, highway trust licence plate and EMS fund lines; dealer plate fees cannot be prorated for a partial year
