How atroq Frames Stay Compliant in Oregon
atroq frames in Oregon are engineered to comply with all display requirements. The frame's recessed sticker windows keep renewal stickers visible. The frame's thickness does not obscure the alphanumeric serial, state name, or the issuing jurisdiction. atroq's universal mounting fits Oregon's standard 6 × 12 inch passenger plates. Since Oregon requires both plates, customers typically order frames in pairs.
