Augusta, ME — Beginning May 1, 2025, the Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) will introduce a new state license plate design — the Pine Tree Plate — impacting the majority of Maine residents.
"The Chickadee plates are in rough shape given their age, so we’re excited to roll out the first new standard license plate design in over 25 years starting May 1,” said Secretary of State Shenna Bellows. “Mainers have design options — a classic design or a new Pine Tree plate — and they can make their choice online, in person, or by mail depending on what’s best for them.”
