| In Wyoming, the prefix shown on each license plate gives information which many people other than Wyomingites may not know. On each plate, there is a prefix number followed by the bucking horse symbol and then either a four digit number or a three digit number followed by a two letter combination. This prefix number indicates which county issued the license plate. In the following table, prefix digit on the left (1-23) and it's corresponding County and County Seat on the right side. In the future, when you see a car with a Wyoming license plate, you will also know the county in which the occupants live, not earth-shattering knowledge but perhaps an interesting observation. |
