National Organization to Family Heritage) like ANAPROMEX issue provisional

Border Zone

Beginning in 1972, México started issuing special plates for privately owned vehicles in all of Baja California and Baja California Sur and for privately owned vehicles registered in the 20 mile border zone with the United States in Chihuahua, Coahuila, Sonora and Tamaulípas.
In the end-1990's, other vehicle classes also received border zone plates.
These plates are different from non-border zone plates in their color and numbering schemes.
