From every state excluding truck, motorcycle, bus, government, and specialty.
As of early 2026, the standard Connecticut passenger license plate continues to use the seven-character, dark blue on white (or light grey/silver) scheme with the "Connecticut" wordmark, typically following the AB·12345 format initiated in 2015. The "Constitution State" slogan is generally included, and plates are reflective for safety.
Key Features & 2026 Context:
Design: Plain white/light background with navy blue lettering and numbers, featuring the state name "Connecticut" at the top.
Numbering System: The current standard,, often referred to as the 2015 series, uses the format AB·12345 or AB 12345. As of April 2026, plates have progressed to the "B" series (e.g., BY·67839).
Material: Reflective sheeting is standard, designed for visibility and security.
New Specialty Option: A new specialty plate honoring the 65th Infantry Regiment ("Borinqueneers") was announced for release in early 2026.
Vanity/Special Plates: Standard plates can be personalized (vanity) or replaced with various special interest, military, or environmental designs (e.g., "Protect Wildflowers") available through the CT DMV.
The standard format is designed to accommodate the high number of registered vehicles, with the current seven-character layout used to avoid exhaustion of previous, simpler formats.
