About this plate
NEW HAMPSHIRE STANDARD ISSUE. The base is dated 1999 and the DESIGN has not changed since, which by the AAMVA §1.1 measure makes it nearly three replacement cycles old, and legally fine, because RSA 261:75(I) leaves the interval to the department. Where the evidence differs, the id policy differs, and the file says why.
How numbers are issued
