For the first time, Kentucky motorists registering passenger vehicles will be able to choose between two standard-issue license plates in 2011, Transportation Secretary Mike Hancock announced Friday.
The two designs are otherwise identical, but one will include the national motto, “In God We Trust.”
“The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet is pleased to offer this choice to Kentucky motorists,” Secretary Hancock said. “As a standard-issue plate, there is no extra fee.”
New plates will be available in county clerk offices in early 2011. Vehicle owners purchasing a standard-issue plate at registration renewal time will be able to choose between the two designs.
The fee for a standard-issue plate is $21.
