They are legal in Michigan but only sold by private companies and auto dealers. Digital plates serve as representations of the standard metal license plates that vehicle owners must register and renew with the Secretary of State.\n\n*Please note: Michigan is discontinuing its current digital plate option. As of August 9, 2026, owners of existing digital plates will need to replace them with standard metal license plates.*\n## Vehicle registration (Choose tab)\n- Registration fees\n- Electric vehicles\n- Michigan No-Fault Insurance\n- Recreation passport\n\nAt the time of purchasing a license plate for your vehicle, you will also be charged for the registration fees for the vehicle.\n\nVehicle registration fees are set by state law and calculated using a formula based on:\n\n- Vehicle base price (MSRP) from the year it was manufactured\n- License plate fees\n- Processing fees\n- Addition of a Recreation Passport or personalized license plate (both are optional)\n\nThe fee is then reduced by a percentage of that original registration fee for the following three years. Under the present law, no further reduction is provided. If the vehicle is older than 1984, the fee is based on the weight of the vehicle.\n\nIf you’re transferring a vehicle title into your name, 6% sales tax is also collected when you complete the transfer and register your vehicle.\n\nUse the Registration Fee Calculator under Online Services to calculate registration fees for your vehicle.\n\n[Go to Online Services](https:\/\/dsvsesvc.sos.state.mi.us\/TAP\/_\/ \"Opens in new tab\")\n\n[Vehicle base prices (MSRP)](https:\/\/www.michigan.gov\/sos\/vehicle\/ownership\/vehicle-base-prices)\n\n### Electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles\n- An electric vehicle (EV) is propelled only by electrical energy and doesn’t require gasoline, diesel, or other fuels.\n- Examples of EVs are the Chevrolet Bolt, Nissan Leaf, and Tesla models.\n- Plug-in passenger hybrid vehicles (PHEVs) are like EVs because they both use electrical power to propel the vehicle. However, unlike EVs, PHEVs also use a gasoline or diesel internal combustion engine in combination with the electric motor.\n- Examples of PHEVs are the Chevrolet Volt, Ford Escape Plug-in, and Toyota Prius Plug-in Hybrid.\n### Fees for renewing the vehicle registration for an EV and a PHEV\n- EV and PHEV fees are charged when renewing an EV or PHEV registration.\n- The fee will also be charged when a plate is transferred from a non-electric or non-hybrid vehicle to an electric or hybrid vehicle.\n- The EV fee is \\$267 and is charged in addition to any regular registration fees. The EV fee for trucks and buses is \\$367.\n- The PHEV fee is \\$113 and is charged in addition to the regular registration fees. The PHEV fee for trucks and buses is \\$183.\n\n### State requirements for Michigan No-Fault insurance\n- Per state law, you must provide proof of a valid Michigan No-Fault automobile insurance policy to register or renew your vehicle in Michigan.\n- An out-of-state vehicle insurance policy can’t be used to register a vehicle in Michigan.\n- More information on insurance policies is available through the Michigan Department of Insurance and Financial Services (DIFS).\n\n[Go to Michigan.gov\/AutoInsurance](https:\/\/www.michigan.gov\/AutoInsurance \"Opens in new tab\")\n\nThe Michigan Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Recreation Passport gets you into all state parks, recreation areas, and boat launches.  \n   \n A Recreation Passport can be added to your vehicle registration at any time. The cost is:\n\n- Vehicles - \\$15 for a one-year vehicle registration; \\$29 for a two-year vehicle registration when renewing. Outside of your renewal period, you will pay the Recreation Passport fee plus a \\$5 tab replacement fee.\n- Motorcycles - \\$7\n\nMore information on Recreation Passports is available through the DNR.\n\n[Michigan.gov\/RecreationPassport](http:\/\/michigan.gov\/RecreationPassport \"Opens in new tab\")\n\n## **Renewing a vehicle plate and tab**\n**When renewing your vehicle registration, remember that:**\n\n- Vehicle registration tabs and plates expire on the vehicle owner’s birthday.\n- One- and two-year vehicle registrations are available.

This automatically updates Secretary of State records and removes the need for the customer to provide proof of insurance when renewing. Check your renewal notice to see if proof of insurance is required.\n- If your insurance company doesn’t use EIV, you must renew by mail or at a Secretary of State office. Provide a copy of your valid, Michigan No-Fault insurance certificate.\n- To calculate your renewal fee, check your renewal mailer or use the renewal [fee calculator under “Payment and “Fees” in Online Services](https:\/\/dsvsesvc.sos.state.mi.us\/TAP\/_\/).\n- If you are ordering a disability plate or a military\/veteran plate for the first time, you must renew by mail or at a Secretary of State office.\n- Visit our Tab and plate renewal web page for more information.\n\n[Renew tab and plate web page](https:\/\/www.michigan.gov\/sos\/all-services\/tab-and-plate-renewal)\n\n[Go to Online Services](https:\/\/dsvsesvc.sos.state.mi.us\/TAP\/_\/ \"Opens in new tab\")\n\n## Replacing a plate, tab, or vehicle registration (Choose tab)\nIf you lose or damage your license plate, tab, or vehicle registration, you can order a replacement.\n\nBefore ordering a replacement or duplicate, check to make sure that the address on your vehicle registration is correct and up to date.\n\n- License plate\n- Tab\n- Vehicle registration\n\n### Michigan license plates\n- License plates that are at least 10 years old will be replaced automatically when renewed or transferred.\n- You may buy a replacement plate for a lost or damaged plate or a new plate if you want to change your plate type at any time.
