How much do I have to pay to get an I LOVE NY Adventure Custom Plate?
The fee noted for each renewal is the $15 annual I LOVE NY fee plus the personalization fee if applicable and does not include the regular registration renewal fees due upon each renewal.  As the $15 I LOVE NY fee is an annual fee, if your registration is renewed every two years passenger and commercial class, the fee is $30 at renewal.  Motorcycle classes renew every one year, therefore a $15 I LOVE NY fee will be due at each renewal.
Are fees for the I LOVE NY Adventure Custom Plates waived if I purchased a LIFETIME NYS Parks issued Empire Passport in 2014?
If your purchase of the LIFETIME NYS Parks issued Empire Passport was in 2014, then, yes, indeed, the fees except for the personalization fees, if applicable, are waived for your first plate purchase and first renewal only.
