Kentuckians will soon offer two more standard license plate designs. The new “Team Kentucky” plates will be available at every county clerk’s office starting Oct. 24.
“Everyone has a place on Team Kentucky, and these new license plates give motorists more options to showcase their state pride,” Gov. Beshear said. “From supporting our neighbors during a natural disaster or pandemic, to looking out for the safety of others as we travel across the commonwealth, Kentuckians always unite and show that Team Kentucky spirit.”
Fees for standard issue plates remain $21 when it’s time to renew. Kentuckians who would like to purchase the new standard plate before they are due to renew will pay $3.
The new license plate designs will be offered on flat aluminum plates as part of the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet’s transition to more efficient digital printing in 2020. With digital technology, standard and specialty license plates can be produced as needed rather than having to be mass-produced. The new plates were designed and printed at no additional cost to the state.
The two standard license plate options continue to include the option to have the words “In God We Trust” added to the plate.
If you currently have a standard or vanity plate that you want to keep you do not have to take any action, you can keep your current plate. The new Team Kentucky plate is only a new option.
