Rhode Island License Plates
Rhode Island made a practice of recycling dormant numbers in 5-character (2 letter - 3 number) ranges for many years until just recently when six digit numbers started to appear. As a new state policy, old numbers will no longer be reissued. That means no more 2 letter - 3 number plates will be issued for new registrations. All new issues will be numeric plates. The new issue started at 710-001.
John Mac Kenzie reports that plate number 100000 was issued in earlier years, but that was a special issue for the mayor of North Providence. John has also seen 200000 more recently, but we don't know who is using it yet. Those would have been the only recent 6 digit Pass plates in Rhode Island prior to this new series.
