About this plate
WYOMING STANDARD ISSUE. Recorded as a gap.
How numbers are issued
STATUTORY. W.S. 31-2-204(c): 'The distinctive license plate numbers shall begin with one (1) and be numbered consecutively in each county.' Wyoming's serial space is therefore PER COUNTY, restarting at 1 in each, which is why low numbers in populous Natrona (county 1) are collectible and why the same distinctive number legitimately recurs in all 23 counties.
Separators
The printed gap between the county numerals and the distinctive number is occupied BY THE BUCKING HORSE AND RIDER EMBLEM, which W.S. 31-2-204(b) places there by statute.
Replacement
years: 1. statutory text: W.S. 31-2-204(b): 'License plates shall be changed or validated annually.'. note: THE SHORTEST CLOCK IN THE GROUP, AND IT IS A DISJUNCTION. The statute says CHANGED OR VALIDATED annually, so Wyoming may satisfy it with a sticker rather than new metal, which is how it operates in practice. Read with the mandatory year numerals on the plate face, this means a Wyoming plate always asserts a year, whether by metal or by validation.
