So just when I start thinking our Government--Local, State or Federal-- is starting to be a better job.....This happens:

I go to the tax office to get a new sticker for my scoot and was told they would have to mail me a new tag as the State was going to single stickers with month/year on 1 sticker. I think good idea as it will probably clean the tag up a little..... but wait it's the Government right???
Looky what came in the mail.....figures

Last year here in Wa. St. a law was passed that make all vehicle sales to be completed with new plates. All plates are to be removed when a vehicle is traded in, and destroyed, evan if the previous owner had just paid for the vehicle to be licensed. The year before this went into effect all you had to do was transfer the title and wait until the expiration date  than re-license it. This has created a great income  for the State, while waisting time, labor and material to generate new plates for every vehicle sale, this includes all trailers. To go along with this is a new law pushed onto us to replace your plates every 5 years as they lose the reflectability to be seen when dark, these new plates are designed to allow for better clarity when being photographed from the passing police cars as they claim it is for locating stolen vehicles.

Just a guess here, but I believe the OP added the arrow.

You are correct, but why have the block if there is no sticker?

I would bet you are early in the changeover process once current inventory of plates are gone a new design will emerge.

Here in Wisconsin, you get to keep you MC plate forever! So I have a plate issued in 95, and every 2 years I renew!
This last renewal 2014, sticker comes as usual, but 8 months before renewal, 4/16 I get a new PLATE in the mail.
I get a letter with it stating Wisconsin wants all plates being the same! I get a new plate number, and a sticker!
My question, which makes sense to me, "WHY NOT WAIT 8 MONTHS TILL RENEWAL"?? then issue a new plate?

I guess the statement is always true, YOU CAN'T FIX STUPID, no matter what state you live in!!!

I was thinking you were supposed to put the sticker on... the expiration sticker was already put on? In the photo it looks like it and the paper backing for it are just loosely affixed to the plate with some of that gooey stuff usually found holding junk mail fliers together.

So they put it over the square for the expiration year, the next one they did they put the sticker on the month side...and kept doing that just to mess with everyone.

If they done that at least they got a sense of humor about it.

Yea guys, the sticker is on the registration card. I just cut it out and laid it on the tag for the pic because it cannot be covered by the tag frame and I wasn't sure where it would hit when mounted. Put the tag in the frame and then place the sticker......just to be on the safe side.
