3 legacy Michigan license plates are making a comeback
Three legacy Michigan license plates are coming back into circulation.
Senate BIll 464, sponsored by Sen. Mallory McMorrow (D-Royal Oak), was approved by Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer on Dec. 13, 2023.
The bill gives drivers the option to choose from three legacy license plates:
-
A blue registration plate that replicates a registration plate issued by this state during the years 1983 to 2007.
-
A black registration plate that replicates a registration plate issued by this state during the years 1979 to 1983.
-
A red, white, and blue registration plate that replicates a registration plate issued by Michigan in 1976. This plate would only be available in 2026 to celebrate the United States’ semiquincentennial.
Anyone who wants a new legacy registration plate will have to pay a $5 service fee. There will also be a $50 fee, which will be deposited in the Michigan transportation fund. It will cost $10 to renew a registration of an existing legacy registration plate.
The license plates should be available within a year of the bill being signed.
