Starting April 2010, the New York State Deparment of Motorvehicles will begin issuing new license plates.
Jackie McGinnis, Communications Director for the NY DMV, says license plates are replaced every five to ten years.
The plates in use now were first issued in 2001. McGinnis says due to wear and tear on the plates, it's important for safety reasons to replace the plates. Another reason for the change in plates is so that the Police can read them better.
McGinnis says the charge for the new plates are $25 and another $20 if you want to keep the same number.
There is no reason to rush in getting the new plates because it will be a 2 year process and all the paperwork is done through the mail.
McGinnis says the DMV will notify you when to get new plates, at the same time you re-register your car.
There will be a new design, but McGinnis says it has not been released yet.
