New Centennial License Plate
Governor Bill Richardson introduced a new Centennial license plate to commemorate 100 years of New Mexico statehood. The Centennial license plate features a "retro" design — a classic look, using red and yellow colors from the state flag; and the Zia; and a bold turquoise background, reflecting the state gem. The Centennial license plates will be available to the public starting January 2010. Read more about the history of New Mexico license plates, see how they've changed over the years, and see a larger version of our new Centennial license plate!
