New type created in 1982 when PEI implemented their part of the Canadian Agreement on Vehicle Registration (CAVR) for sharing of heavy truck and bus registration fees with other provinces based on actual distances travelled. PEI joined the Canada/US International Registration Plan (IRP) in 2001 but the PRP caption continued and there was no visible effect on plates. PEI PRP plates have always been issued as singles.

The PEI passenger licence plate was issued on the wind turbine base for a few short years.
2007-10 prefixes N, T, R and X were all issued concurrently, making highs tracking impossible:
N series from NH 347 to NZ 687 including NI and excluding NO.
TA plus TF 940-TS including TI and TO, other T series prefixes unavailable due to overlap problems with still-active 1993 base "Anne" plates.
RW to RZ 499
XL, XM, XN, XO, XR, XS, XT, XU, XY including new-issue XN 927 on a rental car in May 2010.
2010-13:
The 123 AB format with barcode and holographic image emerged in 2010 starting at 000 AA. A few AA suffix plates were initially released including highly sought-after plates 000 AA and 001 AA. Shortly afterwards a deliberate attempt was made to randomize issuance. Flag and sticker box switched positions between top and bottom right corners of Ex and Bx suffixes.
