How much should I pay if I want to get the new boards?
In addition to your renewal fee, you'll need to pay the new license plate fee of $ 25 for a set of two new plates, or $ 12.50 for vehicles that receive individual plates. You will not be charged an additional fee for maintaining your same number as you currently pay a custom annual fee.
am i required to get the new plates?
You don't need to get new Empire Gold plates and pay a plate fee when you renew. You can renew and keep your current plates.
