HARRISBURG – State Sen. Wayne Langerholc Jr. (R-35) will be hosting three license plate replacement events in October.
Anyone with a damaged license plate is invited to stop by to start the process to receive a replacement plate for free.
License plates are considered damaged if they feature a loss of reflectivity, peeling, blistering, or discoloration and are unreadable from 50 feet away.
Police will be present at the events to determine if plates need to be replaced and to help with any necessary paperwork.
Once an application is submitted to PennDOT, a replacement plate with the same design and a new number will arrive by mail to the vehicle owner’s home address.
PennDOT only allows an individual to keep the same registration number if the original plate was personalized or if the individual pays an extra fee.
The dates, times and locations of the plate replacement events are as follows:
Wednesday, Oct. 9, 4 p.m. to 6 p.m.
Greater Johnstown Career and Technology Center
445 Schoolhouse Rd., Johnstown (enter from Vo-Tech Drive)
Tuesday, Oct. 15, 4 p.m. to 6 p.m.
Centre County District Office
341 Science Park Rd., State College
Thursday, Oct. 17, 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.
