For those who may be unfamiliar with North Carolina, OBX is a trendy designation associated with the Outer Banks region on the coast. The distinctive OBX prefix first became available in 1999 at a $20 premium. It is available to all North Carolina motorists, but only if they visit the Manteo DMV office in person.

Initial run: OBX-1 to OBX-9999 (no leading zeroes) (12/23/99 - 7/25/00)

Second run: OBX-01 to OBX-0999 (8/14/00 - ?)

After that, the hyphen was removed so that five numeric digits could be accommodated.

Once OBX99999 was exceeded, suffix letters were introduced. A, D, H, L, P, T, X, will be issued on the First in Flight base.
