Replacement plate fee schedule set under new vehicle license and registration system

A fee schedule for certain replacement vehicle license plates under Minnesota’s new motor vehicle title and registration system has been established.

Rep. Frank Hornstein (DFL-Mpls) and Sen. Scott Newman (R-Hutchinson) sponsor the new law that will also make provisions for enhanced Minnesota driver’s licenses and IDs to indicate compliance with the federal Real ID law.

Under the law, fees for replacement dealer plates and replacement license plates for tax exempt vehicles are set at $5.25. The fees become effective upon rollout of the new title and registration system, or Jan. 1, 2021, whichever is earlier.

The law also stipulates that enhanced Minnesota driver’s licenses and ID cards will be distinguished from standard licenses and ID cards by a gold star in the upper right-hand corner, which shows compliance with the federal REAL ID Act.
