Vermont License Plates

After getting all our paperwork collected, filled out and filed with the Vermont Department of Motor Vehicles Marc and I are now proper Vermont drivers; License plates and all!

You're probably thinking to yourselves what says newlyweds more then sequential license plates? I'm not sure, but when we come up with it, we'll let you know. And if you're worried that there are only 36 cars registered in Vermont don't worry it's not that rural. I just blurred out the other numbers and letters on our plates for our privacy.

Along with the sequential plates we also learned a lot about Vermont license plates:

• Vermont is one of 18 states (19 if you include the District of Columbia) that requires an annual inspection. So as soon as we had our plates we had to visit a local garage to get our inspection stickers. 
• Vermont license plate numbers are pressed into the plates by a process called debossing. California plates are embossed or have the numbers raised into the plate from the back. 
• Vermont registration stickers are placed on the bottom of the license plate, in California they are on the top. This means that we can't use the surround plates that we had from California on our rear plates anymore.
• Vermont registration stickers have your license plate number stamped on them. In California I was always told to slice my sticker after applying it to my car so no one tried to take it for their car, not a problem in Vermont!
