About this plate
USVI TAXI PLATES. Kept separate from the standard series because the photographs show a distinct plate type and because the Virgin Islands' economy makes for-hire vehicles a large and separately administered fleet. EVIDENCE IS PHOTOGRAPHIC ONLY. The rental-quota form is included because it is the one piece of AGENCY evidence that the USVI administers for-hire classes numerically, which is the administrative fingerprint of a separate serial namespace.
