- About this plate
- THE ICONIC OKLAHOMA PLATE. Note also that the serial sequence runs straight through the base boundary, so the base cannot be inferred from the number, the opposite of the Netherlands' sidecodes, and a useful reminder that era-inference is a per-jurisdiction capability, not a general one.
- Region code notes
- NONE IN THE SERIAL, AND THE HISTORY IS THE INTERESTING PART. Oklahoma COUNTY-CODED its passenger serials by letter prefix from 1981 to 2009, a full three-letter-to-county decode table, county allocations exhausting into a second arrangement, the works. County coding was discontinued with the 2009 base and moved to the MONTH REVALIDATION DECAL as a two-letter county abbreviation; the county-abbreviated decal is reported to have stopped being issued in 2024. So Oklahoma's geographic signal migrated serial -> sticker -> nothing over fifteen years.
- How numbers are issued
- A parse API can therefore NOT infer the base from the serial in Oklahoma, the serial spans both bases.
