Click to see this type in useThese plates are used on limousines, for-hire cars, and light buses licensed to operate interstate as livery vehicles.

I am not sure when this type started - I believe the 1920s - although originally Interstate plates were also issued to commercial trucks operating interstate.

In the late 1980s, the format changed from all-numeric to one having a 'Z' prefix and suffix - similar to Livery (L) and Taxi (T) plates. The present configuration is Z1234Z.
