Car Registrations Oregon – update

A new version of the classic Oregon “Pacific Wonderland” vehicle plate will be available starting March 1 from Oregon DMV.

40,000 sets of these commemorative plates will be stamped, and they are only available for passenger vehicles, so you can’t put them on travel trailers, motor homes, motorcycles, or other vehicles.

House said, “The 2009 Legislature established this limited series of plates to commemorate Oregon’s 150th anniversary of statehood. The first series, issued from 1959 to 1964, was created for the state’s 100th birthday.”

Like the original series, the new plate uses yellow letters and numbers on a blue background, and bears the phrase “Pacific Wonderland” at the bottom. The new series also uses the plate numbering system of the era: a number and a letter, followed by a dash and four numbers – for example, 9P-0001.
