New Jersey Temporary License Plates

TEMPORARY PLATES 2012-2021 Starting April 1st, 2012, a new system went online where dealers print temp tags on-demand.
Each one was registered in the MVC database and they are sequential across all dealers.

Once again, these go in the license plate space on the car - no more back window temps as too
many cars now have tinted windows, which makes it (nearly) impossible to read a temp hanging in the window.

After F999999 came H000001. Apparently the "G" prefix was skipped because it looks too much like a "6".
The H series started issue on August 18th or 19th, 2013.

Every once in a while, a temp will come out "wrong".

Notice the arial fonts and the odd box by the J6.

After M came R. Not N or P, but R.
The R series started on December 23, 2017, to expire in January 2018.
Seems like we're going through one letter just about every year.

The "T" series commenced on December 31, 2018 (to expire on January 29, 2019). The S prefix was skipped for readability reasons ... it looks too much like a "5".
We are still on track for using up one prefix letter per year.
