- About this plate
- USVI PERSONALISED PLATES. THE VALUABLE FACT HERE IS A DISTINCTION, NOT A FORMAT: BMV's March 2023 notice separates "Personalized BMV plates", priced by BMV at $49, from "Vanity plates", which "will continue to be charged BY THE ORGANIZATION ISSUING THE PLATES".
- Fee
- $49.00, per BMV's published fee schedule and confirmed independently in BMV's March 2023 plate notice ('Personalized BMV plates will be charged $49')
