Non-passenger
On the 1994 base, commercial truck plates were coded by location of issuance, but using a different geographical coding system than for passenger plates. These codes were based on more specific geographical areas or geographical features, rather than political jurisdictions.
Bus, dealer, taxi, and trailer plates were coded only by type, not location of issuance.
Type | Serial format | Code | Location |
---|---|---|---|
Commercial Truck | 1234ABC (variable number of digits preceding letters) | FAP | Fort Apugan (Hagåtña) |
