I just purchased a new vehicle on Tuesday and I asked the guy about getting an LSU plate and he said that it's $150 every 2 years because he has one. I asked him how much the regular plates are and he said it's $70 every 4 years. I thought your renewed your plate every 2 years and not 4? Is this correct? Also can someone who has an LSU plate tell me how much it costs?

I tried looking on the DMV's website and it's no help nor are the people who work there.
TIA!

Have you tried this?

Sounds about right. I had looked into them a few years ago and I do remember having to renew them more frequently than a normal license plate

Is a normal license plate every 4 years to renew?

When I lived in Louisiana I got a new tag every four years. Now that I'm in Mississippi its yearly and the cost is out of sight.

I have one and it's not even close to $150 every 2 years. I can't remember exactly how much it is though.

For trucks, it's every 4 years, and the cost is $10 a year. It's $40.

For SUVs, cars or anything else, it's every 2 years, and the cost is determined on the amount of the vehicle when you purchased it.

As for LSU plates and how that works with this system, I haven't the first clue.

That's what I read online too but I just wanted to make sure and the people at the DMV don't help over the phone

I tried the special plate cost calculator with my friend's tag number since I don't have mine yet and it says $79 but I don't know if that's every year or every two or what. It's confusing.

I paid $100 for 2 years but I have the old style plate. I'm not sure if that matters or not

I really don't want to hijack this thread, but I've noticed that there's a new Louisiana license plate. It's horrible. Do trucks still get the 1994 year style, pictured below. Or, do trucks get that new style that's out there?

Here's how you get the cost. Just put in a plate number you know exists.

I refuse to get that ugly arse horse thing on the new plates. If I get a new car while that is still the style, I will be getting an LSU plate.

To be honest, Louisiana has some amateur looking License plates. I can't believe we continue to produce and not UPDATE the designs on our special and basic plates.

And that UGLY font we use on LOUISIANA , Wow!! It looks like a 5th grader writing in cursive for the 1st time.

GET WITH IT , even Alabama & Mississippi have a better plates then us.

If you have to ask, you can't afford it. If you can, say you are just curious. If you are not, why ask?
