Wrong...Florida also has 6-digit license plates (except for specialty and vanity plates). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicle_registration_plates_of_Florida Now for the smart-alec answer: Rhode Island plates are unique because they're the only ones that say "Rhode Island" on them. :) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicle_registration_plates_of_Rhode_Island Jan 12 11, 10:06 AM

Rhode Island's six digit format is one of two, they do also have two letters and three numbers, without checking all 50 states I wouldn't be too surprised if that's unique as most I do know have a minimum 6 total characters. Illinois used to have an unusual format of one letter plus six numbers but used them up now. I can't add the link here as it's a members page only but part of www.europlate.org.uk Jan 12 11, 10:23 AM

As of 2007, Rhode Island no longer issues the 2 letter - three digit plates, relying entirely on the 6-digit plates. Jan 12 11, 11:53 AM

>> Wrong...Florida also has 6-digit license plates (except for specialty and vanity plates). >> en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicle_registration_plates_of_Florida That wiki page is not correct. Florida does not have standard issue 6 digit plates. Their standard issue plates are in the format N00 00A http://www.flhsmv.gov/html/all-h.pdf (top LH corner of page 2) >> Rhode Island's six digit format is one of two The other one is Delaware, but their standard issue is 6 digits unbroken.
