Yep, 1-9 are Jan-Sep and 0 for October for regular vehicles. Commercial vehicles are all Nov and Dec and vanity plates are Nov.

Registrations renew yearly, so what if you buy a car in November or December? I did here in mass, plate ended in three.

You get a 0-9 if you have a regular vehicle just like I said. Doesn’t matter if you buy in November or December December or January. This just means you’ll have to pay to renew sooner.

Edit: they use the last day of the previous month as your registration expiration. So, if you register in November you’ll get a plate ending in 0 for October. If you register in January or December you’ll get leftover plates from other months.

Registration is good for 2 years. I bought my car in November but my registration renewal date is in March. When I bought my car in November of 2018, my registration was due for renewal in March of 2021

Had no idea, thought all the numbers were random.

Vanity plates are November and commercial are December but otherwise, correct!

Thank you for clarifying this. I came to the comments to ask how this works when there are 12 months but only 10 digits. This makes sense.
