New license plates are here!

Pennsylvania is the birthplace of American democracy — and with all eyes on our Commonwealth as we prepare to host our country’s 250th birthday in 2026, our new license plates celebrate the best of what the Commonwealth has to offer. We can’t wait to see your plates on the road!

Plates are available for standard vehicles and trucks, including personalized plates. If you have a specialty plate (military, special fund, or organization plate), switching to the new plate will replace it with a standard plate.

You can also take this opportunity to request a new personalized plate. All personalized plates will be made in the new Liberty Bell style.
