1. Can I keep my current RI License plate number? Yes. When you switch to the PATRIOTIC  plate, your current number is transferred to the new plate, just think of it as ordering a new background design for your existing plate.

How much is the PATRIOTIC plate and where does the money go? FIRST TIME charity orders for a set of two plates is $42.50. $15.00 of each  order goes directly to The FOURTH OF JULY  Committee to help with their efforts to continue the Annual Celebration, $5.00 will be donated directly to the RI Veterans Home, $22.50 will go to the DMV for plate production.

5. What if I lose a plate and need just one? You will need a REMAKE of your plates which is directly controlled by the DMV and the cost is $32.50 (Set of two). The 4th of July Committee does not receive any of that money.

6. When can I expect to receive my plates? The plates can take anywhere from 6-8 weeks to complete. The DMV will mail your plates directly to you when they are ready.
