Sen. Lisa Baker, R-Lehman Township, and Rep. Brenda Pugh, R-Dallas Township, will host an event from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. Thursday to assist constituents with license plate replacements.<\/p>\n
The event will be held at the Luzerne County Fairgrounds, 3605 State Route 118, Dallas.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis event is a convenient way for residents to take care of important vehicle-related issues close to home,\u201d Baker said. \u201cWhether it\u2019s replacing a worn license plate or getting assistance with other PennDOT services, we\u2019re committed to helping constituents navigate the process and access the resources they need.\u201d<\/p>\n
A police officer will evaluate whether license plates are difficult to read and sign the necessary paperwork for eligible residents to receive a free replacement plate from the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT).<\/p>\n
\u201cThis event offers a convenient, local opportunity for residents to resolve essential vehicle and licensing matters right in their neighborhood,\u201d Pugh said. \u201cFrom replacing damaged plates to answering questions, our team is dedicated to streamlining PennDOT services and ensuring community members have easy access to vital state resources.\u201d<\/p>\n
A license plate is considered illegible when one or more letters or numbers cannot be recognized from 50 feet away or if the plate shows blistering, peeling, discoloration, or loss of reflectivity.<\/p>\n
PennDOT will replace an illegible plate free of charge, provided a completed Form MV-46 is submitted, signed by a law enforcement officer or a certified inspection station, verifying the plate\u2019s illegibility.<\/p>\n
Drivers may face a $100 fine for displaying an illegible license plate.<\/p>\n
All assistance at the event will be provided free of charge. For information, contact Baker\u2019s Nanticoke office at 570-740-2432 or Pugh\u2019s office at 570-283-1001.<\/p>\n
