The quest to establish a new patriotic license plate has been realized, as the Bristol Fourth of July Committee now has more than 1,000 orders.
But you haven’t missed the boat. Orders are still available for your commemorative plate, and the committee is looking to get more orders to ensure the number stays north of 900, according to Judy Squires, who headed up the license plate campaign.
“We want everyone to buy them now so they can be part of the first group to be processed by the DMV,” Ms. Squires said. “It will take two months to be processed. So keep the order forms coming!”
The state would not issue the commemorative Fourth of July license plate until 900 orders had been placed. More than 1,000 Rhode Islanders have ordered their plates, exceeding the goal. But some information may have changed. The state DMV needs updated VINs and registration if your information has changed since your order was placed. To update the information, contact Judy Squires at jsquires14@aol.com.
The plate can be yours without a trip to the DMV. There is no license plate surcharge included. You can keep your current RI License plate number. The cost is a one-time fee of $41.50 — $21.50 to the DMV, $15 to the committee, and $5 to the Rhode Island Veterans Home. That means more than $4,500 will go to the Veterans Home.
Order forms are available all over town, including AAA and The Phoenix office at 1 Bradford St. For more information, contact Judy Squires at jsquires14@aol.com or Wayne Picard at wayne.picard@blinkcreative.com.
