## 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.
