What should I do with my old plate(s) that I have on my vehicle? If your plate is ten years old or older you will have no choice, the motor vehicle system is programmed to automatically issue replacement plate(s).

The life span (reflectiveness and adhesive) of a license plate is about 10 years. The Plate Replacement Cycle is a program that the Department of Transportation has implemented for license plates that are 10 years old or older and are still on a vehicle. To find out what year your vehicle will take a drop see our calendar rate drop chart (PDF). Most vehicle registrations are based on the weight and list price of the vehicle and will take a fee drop when the vehicle is 8, 10, and 12 years old.

When will my vehicle registration drop in price?
