| Fully reflectorized graphic plates were issued for the first time in November 1992. These plates had 7 digits, in AAA0000 format, and the little New Jersey separator was gone. The letters O and I were not used on standard passenger plates from this point forward (Q was never used). |

A short while after the release of the 7-digit plates, they were discontinued because of "poor readability". Huh ? (Block letters, 3-alpha, 4-numeric, how simple can ya get ????) | |
| A new series starting at BA-100A was issued in May 1993. (The 7-digit series was still issued as plates were used up, and ended at ADJ9999 in July 1993.) |

| ADK1000 - The plate that never was... If the 7-digit series would have continued, this plate would have been the next one off the line. Instead, it's a cool vanity now on Jeff's truck. |
