Governor Mike DeWine unveils new state standard license plate
The “Sunrise in Ohio” license plate will be available to drivers beginning December 29th of this year.
TOLEDO, Ohio — Ohio Governor Mike DeWine, First Lady Fran DeWine, and Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles Registrar Charles Norman, Thursday, unveiled Ohio’s next generation of standard license plates.
The Ohio BMV designed the new “Sunrise in Ohio” license plate with input from the governor and first lady — but there was one problem. The plane pictured on the new plate design appeared to be facing in the wrong direction. The issue has since been addressed and Ohioans will be receiving the revised design when they pick up their new plates.
Over the past 20 years, 4 new standard license plate designs have been introduced, including the “Bicentennial” plate in 2001, the “Sunburst” plate in 2003, the “Beautiful Ohio” plate in 2009, and the “Ohio Pride” plate in 2013.
The new plate will be available to drivers online at bmv.ohio.gov and at all local deputy registrar locations beginning on December 29th.
