Twelve score and 10 years ago, our founders brought forth a new nation.
To celebrate the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) is bringing forth a new plate to mark the historic occasion.
The custom plate features an image of the United States, stars and proclaims “United States of America 250” across the bottom. It was unveiled Tuesday at Peebles Island State Park outside Albany and is available to order on the DMV’s website and at all DMV offices across New York State.
“We are delighted to offer this plate to the public as the nation proudly celebrates its 250th anniversary,” said DMV Acting Commissioner Christian Jackstadt. “It is a great way for New Yorkers to display their love of country and express their appreciation for all America has to offer.”
The specialty plate costs $60 upon initial purchase. There is an annual renewal fee of $31.25, in addition to the normal registration renewal costs.
The plate will be offered for passenger class vehicles only. For an additional fee, customers can personalize their plate by ordering specific letter and number combinations with up to 6 characters.
The plate can be issued with the symbol of access, with up to 5 characters.
