    Basic Registration and Renewal Fees

    The basic registration fee for a vehicle in Pennsylvania depends on the vehicle type and weight. It typically covers a one-year period, and a renewal fee applies every year thereafter.

    • Personalized plates: A one-time fee is charged for the customization process.
    • Antique and classic plates: These plates usually involve a one-time fee, provided the vehicle meets certain conditions.
    • Veteran and other specialty plates: Fees vary based on the specific plate type.

    Replacement License Plates Fees
