In lieu of an antique or classic registration plate, the owner of an antique or classic motor vehicle may request permission from PennDOT to display a vintage registration plate.Avintage registration plate is a “period-issued” registration plate from 1906 to 1976 to be displayed on an antique or classic vehicle with the same corresponding year of manufacture. Vintage registration plates are not manufactured or issued by PennDOT.Applicants are required to provide the vintage registration plate they wish to display on their antique or classic vehicle.

The use of a vintage registration plate is governed by Section 1340 of the Pennsylvania Vehicle Code which states: “It is unlawful for any person to operate a motorcycle or vehicle withAntique, Classic, Collectible or Vintage registration plates for general daily transportation. Permitted use shall be limited to participation in club activities, exhibits, tours, parades, occasional transportation and similar uses.”

Occasional transportation and similar use is defined as one day a week.

To display a vintage registration plate, the vehicle must already be branded as an antique or classic vehicle. If the vehicle is not branded as an antique or classic vehicle, you must also complete and submit Form MV-11, "Application for Permanent Antique, Classic or Collectible Registration Plate" and pay all appropriate fees.

Although buses and trucks are eligible for vintage registration plates, buses may not be used to transport passengers and trucks may not haul cargo. Vintage motorcycle plates may only be displayed on antique or classic motorcycles. Vintage registration plates are not available for motorized pedalcycles or motor homes.
