As part of the 250th anniversary of the adoption of the Declaration of Independence, the West Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) has released a limited-time license plate

It was unveiled Tuesday afternoon at the West Virginia Culture Center and features bright colors depicting stars, stripes and fireworks with the New River Gorge Bridge and mountain scenery below a night sky.  

DMV Commissioner Everett Frazier said the new license plate is available on a first come, first served basis. 

“This license plate is not only a testament to our country, but it is a memorial to the men and women who have served, sacrificed, so that America stays free,” Frazier said. “This is not just a license plate. This is an opportunity to be inspired by the lives, to remember them and to have pride for their contributions in keeping us free.” 

The new plates will be available at all DMVs in the state by Friday. They can also be ordered through the call center at 800-642-9066. The fee is $61.50.
