Washington state drivers soon will be able to get a Mount St. Helens license plate!
The license plates will help fund the Mount St. Helens Institute’s work at the volcano, including youth education programs, community science initiatives, trail maintenance and restoration, and volunteer programs.
They will be available for purchase starting Aug. 19. You can get your new plate on dol.wa.gov or by visiting your local Department of Licensing office.
More details:
- Before you visit the DOL, decide what you want on your plate: the next available number or a personalized plate
- Understand the initial costs and submit your payment and application form (available online August 19) to a licensing office or mail it to the DOL
- If your tabs expire in 6 months or less, you can save money by getting your new plates and tabs at the same time. By renewing early, you won’t have to pay the following plate renewal fees the first year:
- $30 for specialty plates
- $42 for personalized plates
- If you have a Good to Go account, you’ll need to update your license information
- Plates will need to be renewed annually
