Pennsylvania License Plate changes: State releases new ‘Let Freedom Ring’ license plates

(WHTM) — Governor Shapiro announced on X that the new “Let Freedom Ring” standard issue license plates are now available for purchase.

Shapiro says the license plates are now available for all Pennsylvanians to order ahead of the 250th anniversary of the United States that will be celebrated across the Commonwealth in 2026.

The plates feature a white design with the Liberty Bell behind the plate number, with the text “Let Freedom Ring” signed across the bottom of the plate.

“Pennsylvania is the birthplace of American freedom – and ahead of 2026, Pennsylvanians can ‘Let Freedom Ring’ all across our Commonwealth with one of our new license plates,” said Governor Shapiro. “Our team at PennDOT has worked to make it as easy as possible to order a new license plate and we’ve already delivered nearly 12,000 new plates to Pennsylvanians across the Commonwealth.”

To find instructions to request a standard-issue license plate, visit PennDOT’s website. Personalized plates can also be requested. Fees and instructions will vary based on plate type and any optional personalization. 

PennDOT says special plates for the military, special organizations, special funds, and specialty plates without legislatively mandated designs will also be updated with the new design in the coming months. The department will update its website as each plate becomes available in the new design. Individuals who switch to the new plate before their specialty plate is updated will receive a standard plate, per PennDOT.
