BUTLER – To assist residents of the 11th District with illegible license plates on their vehicles, Rep. Marci Mustello (R-Butler) will be hosting a Hard-to-Read License Plate event on Saturday, Aug. 3, from 10 a.m. to noon, at the Saxonburg Volunteer Fire Company, First Responders Park.
This event is designed to assist drivers in replacing hard-to-read or damaged standard or eligible vanity plates. State law requires PennDOT to replace license plates that are deemed illegible at no cost to the vehicle owner. A plate is deemed illegible when one or more numbers or letters cannot be recognized from 50 feet away, typically due to blistering, peeling, discoloration, loss of reflectivity or other damages.
Drivers must bring their unexpired Pennsylvania driver’s license and current vehicle registration card to participate. Please note that specialty plates, such as those for veterans, Pennsylvania zoos, college alumni, etc., cannot be processed at this event. Drivers with specialty plates needing replacement must work directly with PennDOT.
Mustello's district office staff and the Saxonburg Police Department will be on-site to help complete the required forms, which will be hand-delivered for processing. Participants can expect to receive their replacement plates by mail within a few weeks. Standard issue and personalized plates will be replaced by PennDOT free of charge.
“No registration is required for this event,” said Mustello. “We are committed to making this process as convenient as possible for our residents. I encourage anyone with a hard-to-read license plate to take advantage of this opportunity.”
The Saxonburg Volunteer Fire Company is located at 155 Pittsburgh St., Saxonburg.
For more information, please call Mustello's office at 724-283-5852.
