[edit] 2001 base: The return of the Empire State

In 2001, the state began the process of replacing the all of the 1986 base plate featuring the Statue of Liberty with a new design featuing Niagara Falls and the New York City skyline with the Empire State Building. The base also returned the "Empire State" slogan for the first time since the 1962 dated plates. Motorists were given the option to keep their previous registration number on a new set of plates for a one time fee. Many took this option, so there are plates not in the standard ABC-1234 format on the road.

[edit] Personalized Plates

Motorists may select up to eight characters on a personalized plate:

  • letters A through Z
  • numbers 0 through 9
  • spaces
  • a state image
