NMV 012 — license plate combination
NMV 012 is filed as a generated example of the Alaska sequential passenger serial — AAA 999 (3 letters + 3 digits). Letters NMV sit in positions 1, 2, 3; digits 012 sit in positions 4, 5, 6. This page does not identify a car, an owner, or a live registration. It measures how the string sits inside a published character map of 12,167,000 slots, adopted in this atlas from 1981 after numeric-only and early gold-on-blue runs.
Disclaimer. NMV 012 is not published here as a real vehicle or plate record. It is a generated example of a serial map for teaching and testing.

Alaska format in brief
Alaska moved from territorial numbering into a letter-digit mix as the vehicle fleet grew. The three-by-three block remains the teaching example because it is short, high-contrast, and still in the passenger series.
I, O and Q are treated as skipped in this atlas to match common die and OCR practice on Alaskan stacks. Full essay: Alaska license-plate format.
Combinatorics for NMV 012
Alphabet size 23 × the digit slots in AAA 999 produces 12,167,000 serials. Rank 6,619,012 is about the 54.4014 percentile of that space (0 = first serial, 100 = last).

Why someone might look up NMV 012
| Use | Note |
|---|---|
| Vanity research | People compare a wanted phrase against the sequential map so they can see whether it is a standard serial or a specialty request. |
| Fleet labelling | Inventories and film-unit vehicles often need a plausible unused-looking serial that still obeys a state’s character classes. |
| Fiction and props | Writers and set designers pick a combination that could exist on a given state’s dies without copying a photographed car. |
| Dataset testing | OCR, ANPR and form-validation tests need strings that match a published pattern, including separators. |
| Format teaching | The combination is a worked example of how many plates a map can hold, not a window into a motor-vehicle file. |
Generated example versus a real plate
A real Alaska plate is a physical die issued from a series or a vanity queue. NMV 012 on this URL is a string that fits that series’ character classes. Identical glyphs can exist in both worlds; this website has no feed that would let it tell them apart. If you need an official answer, ask the Alaska motor-vehicle agency, not plates.autos.
Questions about NMV 012
Which state does NMV 012 belong to?
NMV 012 is analysed here as a generated example of the Alaska passenger serial (AAA 999). It is not assigned to a motorist by this site. The glyphs fit the sequential passenger skeleton used in this atlas.
Is NMV 012 real?
No claim is made that NMV 012 is currently issued, expired, or reserved. The string sits inside a published character map. Whether a DMV ever stamped it is a registration fact this atlas does not observe.
What does NMV 012 mean?
NMV 012 is a serial, not a slogan. Letters NMV occupy positions 1, 2, 3; digits 012 occupy positions 4, 5, 6. Spoken with the NATO alphabet it reads November · Mike · Victor · zero · one · two.
Which state uses NMV 012?
This page files NMV 012 under Alaska because it fits that state’s AAA 999 passenger map. The same alphanumeric string also fits Hawaii, Iowa, Louisiana, Minnesota, Mississippi, Nebraska, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Vermont. Other states with a different skeleton will reject the same glyphs.
Which vehicle uses NMV 012?
None that this atlas knows of. There is no vehicle make, model, colour, or VIN attached to NMV 012. If you photographed a car, the door-jamb sticker and the registration — not this page — identify the vehicle.
Which state’s format does NMV 012 follow?
Alaska sequential passenger plates are taught here as AAA 999 (3 letters + 3 digits), in use in this atlas from 1981. Earlier Alaska plates used numeric-only and early gold-on-blue runs.
Is NMV 012 a vanity plate?
Probably not, as modelled. Sequential passenger serials are issued in series; vanity (personalised) plates are requested strings that often break AAA 999. NMV 012 fits the sequential map, so this atlas treats it as a series example, not a purchased phrase.
How is NMV 012 read?
Left to right as printed: NMV 012. Aloud: November · Mike · Victor · zero · one · two. Hyphens and spaces are separators in the published pattern, not extra serial values.
Which letters and numbers are in NMV 012?
Letters: NMV (3). Digits: 012 (3). Combined alphanumeric length: 6. Separators in the Alaska display form are taken from AAA 999.
How many combinations can the NMV 012 format produce?
The Alaska map AAA 999 with a 23-letter alphabet yields 12,167,000 distinct serials. NMV 012 sits at rank 6,619,012 in that mixed-radix order (about the 54.4014 percentile).
Could NMV 012 have been issued before?
It could, mathematically: the string is inside the 12,167,000-slot space. Issuance is a DMV operation (series rolls, skipped blocks, recalls). This page does not query a live file and cannot say whether NMV 012 was ever bolted to a bumper.
Why does NMV 012 appear on Google?
Because plates.autos publishes a stable analysis URL for the combination. Search engines that crawl https://plates.autos/alaska/license-plate-combinations/nmv-012/ are reading an educational combinatorics page, not a leaked registration. Ranking is not a proof of issuance.
Which country or region is NMV 012 from?
The working assumption on this page is the United States, West region, state of Alaska. Other countries use different dies, shields and checksums. A similar glyph string abroad would be a coincidence of alphabet, not a shared registry.
Is NMV 012 a valid US format?
NMV 012 is a valid glyph string under the Alaska AAA 999 sequential passenger model used in this atlas. Validity here means “fits a documented sequential passenger skeleton,” not “cleared by a motor-vehicle agency.” Optional, military, and government plates are out of scope.
Which characters can appear on NMV 012?
On the Alaska sequential map: letters from ABCDEFGHJKLMNPRSTUVWXYZ and digits 0–9. Skipped letters in this atlas: IOQ. Separators: whatever AAA 999 prints (space, hyphen, or dot). Decorative dies and stacked graphics do not add serial glyphs.
How might NMV 012 have been generated?
Two honest answers. A DMV would emit it by walking the AAA 999 series. This website can also construct it with PHP by placing letters NMV and digits 012 into those slots — which is exactly how a generated example is made. Neither method is a public records search.
Was NMV 012 used in a film or series?
This atlas does not track screen-used plates. Prop departments often invent in-format serials. If NMV 012 appeared on camera, that is outside the dataset here; treat any match as unverified.
Why might NMV 012 be blurred in a photo?
Publishers, Street View pipelines, and news desks often blur plates as a privacy habit, not because NMV 012 is special. A blur is not evidence that the combination is issued, sensitive, or unique.
What are similar plate numbers to NMV 012?
Immediate serial neighbours increment the mixed-radix rank by small deltas (for example NMV 009 and NMV 010). Same-format random draws on this page change on refresh so crawlers can discover more in-class URLs without turning NMV 012 itself into a moving target.
What appears online about NMV 012?
You may find this analysis, forum guesses, or unrelated hits (part numbers, product SKUs). None of those sources, including plates.autos, is a substitute for a state records request. NMV 012 as published here is a generated example combination.
