Started at HN-, then HP-, HR-, HS-, HT-, HV-, HW- then HU-, followed by HX through HZ-, then HA- through HM-. Based on the wear and tear seen on the plates of the Big Island, it is likely that the HZ- series was issued sometime later than its sequence would indicate; they looked much newer than HA-, for example. Other than HGA, no HG- plates were seen on the Big Island; not sure if they were ever issued. Unlike Kauai, both Hawaii and Maui Counties share letter series with their Motorcycle, Trailer, and Commercial plates. For example, HDP plates were issued on cars with the letters before the numbers and HDP plates were also issued on commercial vehicles with the letters after the numbers.

After reaching HZY, Hawaii Co. started over at HAA. HZZ ended up being issued in Honolulu Co. due to a shortage of plates. HBL may have been skipped. Everything through HMJ has been issued, but no HMK, HML, or HMM spotted yet. HMN and HMP are in use.

After HMZ 999 was issued the Z series began with ZAA 001 -- because some HNn plates still exist on the road. The lowest plate seen is HNB 172. There is no reissuing of plates as previously thought. Dates on the plates (a hologram with the last two digits of the year of issue in white on a black circle repeated down the center of the plate) correspond to chronological issuing. For example, shiny HZ plates (which were thought to be reissues) have an issue dates of "97" and "98", HX plates have "94" and HN has "91", HC has "01", etc.

ZBA, ZBB, and ZBC were issued, and then ZBP started to show up. There will probably be a lot of filling in since it appears that someone opened up the wrong box.

From Andy DeCeunynck: As of early February 2014, it appears as though all combinations up to ZBT have been issued but nothing from ZBU-ZBZ. ZCA-ZCC but no ZCD, then ZCE but no ZCF, and most recently ZCG and ZCH. Also, it looks like no plates issued with L in the third position.

Jan. 2015 update from Neal: Have seen ZRx series a number of times (3 ZRCs, ZRG, ZRJ, ZRT) and also three ZTCs but these are obviously out of order (opening wrong box) and will be filled in with normally issued plates.
