## About this plate

The genuinely distinctive Puerto Rico fact is that the ALLOCATION IS DISCRETIONARY AND LOGGED: Art. 2.14(E) makes the number of dealer plates a per-dealer administrative decision and requires a vehicle-by-vehicle, date-stamped use register open to Department and Police inspection. Most US states issue dealer plates against a fee schedule; Puerto Rico issues them against a judgement about "el desempeño adecuado y responsable" of the dealer.

## Who can have one

Art. 2.14: anyone selling motor vehicles or trailers at retail for profit must obtain a "Licencia de Concesionario de Vehículos de Motor y Arrastres". Art. 2.15 creates a SECOND, narrower licence, the "concesionario especial", for those who buy, rescue, salvage, repair, rebuild and sell WRECKED vehicles in limited quantities, with the maximum number of vehicles set by reglamento.
