Idaho License Plates

The current Idaho county-system passenger base debuted in 1991 as a blue-number embossed plate, later revised to all-flat in 2008 with black registration characters. Idaho license plates have been on a rolling 10-year replacement cycle since 2020, a three-year increase from the prior seven-year requirement.

More than one plate of this type has been seen. No other counties have had odd jumps like this, so it appears to be a manufacturing error.

Flat

All colleges use this sequence that ends with S.

It appears that with the high amount of collegiate plates in circulation, the 9 at the beginning is a constant to avoid clashes with other types, the 9BnnS series seems to have been skipped to avoid a clash with county 9B (Boundary). Also the progression seems to be in the format 9lnnS, 9lnlS, 9llnS, 9lllS. Example 9A01S-9A99S, 9A1AS-9A9ZS, 9AA1S-9AA9S-9AAAS-9AAZS, 9AB1S-9ABZS, etc. then 9C11S...
