License Plates

You must display two license plates in all of your motor vehicles such as passenger vehicles, motorhomes, trucks or vans. A month tab and year tab must be displayed on the back plate. Motorcycles and trailers have one license plate with month and year tabs.

Please note: If one or more of your plates has been lost or damaged, please apply for duplicate plates or tabs.

Please note: We do not sell used license plates; however, you can buy a sample plate for your collection or for a school project.
