- About this plate
- Compare Guam and the Northern Marianas in this same group, where every base boundary is secondary. THE TRANSITION IS MODELLED HONESTLY AS AN OVERLAP: because the new plates were issued at each vehicle's annual renewal rather than in a single swap, the 2016 base remained lawfully on the road throughout 2023 and beyond.
