A vendor change occurred, according to https://www.scplates.com/sc-license-plates-types-and-history/passenger, this why the font and numbering changed. Why they split off mail out series, like MN and NM do, is beyond me. Also, is it just me or is the new font kinda ugly and hard to read on the road?
Note: while there’s no proof, this above cited article also says that the new series began at 101 YAA
The mail-out series appears to be progressing about the same rate they already were before the split. It depends how a state issues plates. Additionally, in states where new plates are issued directly at dealerships, dealers can have a different progression from office/mail issues as well. Nevada does this, and Illinois also noticeably did in 2005-06 and 2017.
The Y series is hardly being used, only going from YAA to YCL in 10 months
I'm pretty sure the Y series is done. I saw a note on the SCDMV website saying they were moving away from issuing plates in the DMV and would be focusing solely on mailing out plates. I believe this is the reason that 123 ABC plates have accelerated in being issued.
Thank you for the info, I was wondering why the Y series seemed to have frozen. By the way, do you know if YCL is when they stopped, or did they go higher?
From my observations, it appears to have stopped at YCL. Highest I've seen in person is YCL 108, nothing higher. I could try doing some Carfax searches, but that's probably not a reliable source since a lot of Y plates are glitched. Hoping to see proof of higher YCL plates or maybe even a higher series.
There’s a DMV photo on,one of 559, and that is the highest on .cc
Here’s a news article with the photo
