Yukon License Plates

AAA08 reported as a low. Andrew Osborne reports that Yukon plates now have Alberta HiSigns dies.

Current base started as AAA01 in 1990. The "A" series has run out at AZZ99 in 2003 with a Nov 04 sticker. Shifted to BAA01 early on, likely 1992. "E" series began about 2000. HAA followed EZZ.

Brent Kirchner advises that newer Yukon plates have thicker dies.

From Andrew Osborne: New Waldale dies began in 2014. In use by HHF series.

Plates are personalized. "The Klondike" on top. Has "gold panner" if 5 or fewer numbers or letters are used.

Started as DLR001. Says "Dealer" on top. No "gold panner."

YTG stands for "Yukon Territorial Government", although this series is used only by the Department of Highways and Public Works.

Series started in 1991 at YTG 001 with no gold panner. After YTG 999 was reached, the series rolled over to Y1000 and continued from there, with the gold panner at the left.

This plate has not been issued to any vehicles as of Dec 2009.

Started as F0001. Says "Farm Vehicle" on top. Used on all farm vehicles. No "gold panner."

Used on all Federal Goverment vehicles. Says "The Klondike" on top. Series started at FAA01. Has "gold panner."

Started at DAA01. All towns and villages use this series. All vehicles, including fire, bus, heavy and light vehicles. Has "gold panner."

Note: Yukon does not use the letters D, I, Q, U, or Y, except in the first position on Government, Dealer, and Bus plates, but they did issue the BBU passenger series for some reason.

Spacing changed between G47 519 and G48023.

The letter "G" indicates a Yukon Government vehicle. Used on all sorts of vehicles, including light trucks, cars, SUVs. The first two numbers, ie "47" denote vehicle type. The 47s are SUVs. The entire 5 digits are the numbers assigned to the particular vehicle for fleet identification.

These plates are grouped by vehicle type so brand new ones from G40 and G46 are also being issued.

Heavy trucks (over 4,500 kg). Started in 1990 at CAA01. In 2009 the series ran out and rolled over to CA001. Some have "commercial" in lowercase, some in capitals.

Small plate, says "motorcycle." Dies have changed and "Motorcycle" now has a capital "M"

Small plate. Says "dealer."

PUBLIC CARRIER small (mc size) white-on-green supplemental plate. "Yukon" in italic upper- and lower-case letters above legend in upper case block letters above number in small dies. Prior issues were fully embossed.

These were more common in the 1980s and '90s when they were still used on trucks. By the late-1990s these were mostly found on specific Greyhound buses licensed to operate into Yukon. With the 2018 demise of Greyhound Canada these plates are even less common.
