## About this plate

SOUTH CAROLINA CURRENT STANDARD ISSUE, THE MODEL ENTRY FOR THE US PASS. Start date, sunset date, slogan, minimum artwork, dimensions, durability, retroreflectivity, reissue interval and fee cap are ALL statutory and all quoted. THIRD, this is the REGULAR plate at the REGULAR fee (subsection (D)), not a specialty plate, South Carolina turned its whole standard issue into a commemorative for seven years, which is a different move from Florida's optional "America 250" variant and from Georgia's optional America 250 election.

## How numbers are issued

reported: intermittently from 101CUV to 999DDL, then exclusively from 101DDM, reaching 433DEN by 7 February 2026.

## Separators

the gap between the numeral and letter groups is spelled as an optional space.

## Fees

§ 56-3-1230(D): 'Fees for regular license plates shall not exceed the regular motor vehicle license fee set forth in Article 5, Chapter 3, Title 56.' So the 250th-anniversary plate is the REGULAR plate at the REGULAR price, not a specialty plate, which is why it is modelled here as the standard series and not in the specialty index.

## Replacement

years: 10. statutory text: § 56-3-1230(A): "A new license plate including personalized and special plates, but excluding license plates provided in Sections 56-3-660 and 56-3-670, must be provided by the department at intervals the department considers appropriate, but AT LEAST EVERY TEN YEARS.". funding: § 56-3-1230(A): since fees collected after 1 July 2002, two dollars of each biennial fee and one dollar of each annual fee go to a restricted account usable SOLELY for producing and issuing new plates; 'The department is not authorized to use this set aside money for any other purpose.' A hypothecated plate-manufacturing fund written into the plate statute, nothing comparable appears in the other four states of this group.. exclusions: vehicles registered under §§ 56-3-660 and 56-3-670 (property-carrying vehicles by weight; farm trucks) are outside the ten-year rule and are reissued at intervals the department considers appropriate; plates for vehicles over 26,000 lb are issued BIENNIALLY with NO revalidation sticker (§ 56-3-1230(A))
