Farthest license plate you've seen from the jurisdiction you're in

I was in downtown Jackson today and saw an SUV with a Quebec tag. I've seen a Manitoba tag here before.

Several years ago, I saw a plate from Chihuahua, Mexico, on a Ford Lobo (their version of the F-series) in Des Moines. And it wasn't even on any of the Interstates – it was on US 6 through town.

I've seen Jalisco, Mexico in Rock Hill, SC. I've also seen Hawaii when I lived on Long Island.

I saw a Hawaii license plate in Yellowstone NP, 3,105 Miles.

Oh, and both our cars are registered in Alaska. Not sure if that counts though. If it does, probably when we lived in FL. Orlando FL (most southwest I have ever been in the car) to Juneau, AK is 3,236 Miles.

Here in western NY I have seen Alaska Plates a few times. Oregon and Washington show up every once in a while and I'll see California plates at least once a week.

I just wondered: has anyone seen a Mexican license plate in Canada, or vice versa?

I have, in Vancouver. Cannot recall which state. I think I took a picture, I'll have to see if I can find it.

Hawaii, Nevada, Washington, Oregon, Arizona and Texas license plates are the most common out of state license plates I seen in California.

Yep.  Already mentioned it.

Arizona in Switzerland
Québéc in Coahuila
Quintana Roo in Kansas
Guam in Kansas
Germany in Colorado

I had a bet with my child once.  We were in Mt. Rainier National Park in Washington.  She bet we'd see more California license plates than Oregon plates, and I bet that we'd see more Oregon plates than Californian.  I figured the ability to make a day trip from Portland would make up for the larger number of cars in California.  She won, but it was very close.  California would be ahead for a while, then Oregon, then California again.

I see every state at some point during the year in California.  Sure helps that I work on a military base, there is always variety with the enlisted people.

Including Guam and Puerto Rico, especially near Naval and Air Bases. I don't know, if I have ever seen a USVI or CNMI plate.

As an aside, doesn't USVI drive left (often with drive right cars)?

Yes! Morelos (in Toronto) and Distrito Federale (in Niagara Falls)!

California plates in both Orlando, Florida and Washington, DC.
