Sequence

The first sequence for the 2002 issue plate ranges from PBA to SLZ and from TAA to least to the XQ range. (SLZ to SZZ was reserved for overruns on the 1995 series) Many three letter combinations with negative connotations, such as "SEX" or "WAR," were deliberately skipped, along with "SAM," which was reserved for the sample plates. Although some states had skipped over "POO", this combination was not skipped, and neither was "POS" (Although I doubt there are any political motivations behind it, the entire "PO" range was assigned to Douglas County).

Renewal Decals

Automobile and light truck plates were issued new plates at renewal time only. For new "short-term" registrations, 1995 plates were issued. The 2002 registration decal was used on specialty plates and motorcycles.

The 2002 plates were intended to be withdrawn from circulation in 2010; however, this did not occur. 2002 plates remain in circulation alongside the "Ad Astra" plate, which was introduced in 2007
