Major Changes Coming to Idaho License Plates on July 1st

You're driving around in the Treasure Valley and come to a stop at the nearest intersection. You look around, you see the cars in front of you and beside you...what do you almost ALWAYS need to solve in this situation?

What on EARTH does that license plate say??

Here in Idaho it seems that we love a vanity plate, or should we say, vanity 'pl8'??

Big changes are coming to the State of Idaho when it comes to our beloved license plates.

No new designs and no, your vanity characters aren't being touched. A new law is going to impact an annual step that each year is so tedious...NOBODY is going to miss it!

Each year when you renew your vehicle's registration, you get that slip in the mail that has two small stickers on it. Does ANYONE remember to get those things on? Not to mention, there are waves of 'sticker theft' from folks that want their plats to appear as renewed while on the road.

As of this week, the Idaho Transportation Department has shared the news: NO. MORE. STICKERS.

One less step for drivers is also going to save Idaho some money.

House Bill 533 is set to officially become law and the expected signature from Governor Brad Little will have it become effective starting on July 1st of this year. It's estimated that this could save the State of Idaho around $300,000 annually.

Finally, our legislature has focused on something that isn't a flag?

No action is needed for existing plates--current plates are and will remain, valid!

License plate customization here in Idaho seems to be all the craze for local drivers. Everywhere you look, there is another one!
