- About this plate
- It matters out of proportion to its size: it proves the §2.7 distinction is not a Netherlands-specific artefact but a recurring shape wherever a jurisdiction re-authorises OLD plates for CURRENT use. Any state with a year-of-manufacture programme will need the same treatment.
- Who can have one
- NYSDMV: the plates must be the original plates for the vehicle's year of manufacture; reproductions are not accepted.
- Fee
- $3.75 initial for passenger and motorcycle where a New York registration already exists (NYSDMV)
