plate

Missouri's current standard license plate, introduced in 2018–2019 to celebrate the state's bicentennial (1821–2021), features a red, white, and blue design with wave graphics representing rivers. The plates are manufactured in aluminum with the state seal, the "Show-Me State" slogan, and a 6-character alphanumeric format (typically 2 letters, 1 number, 1 letter, 2 numbers: e.g., AB1 C2D).

Key Features of the Current Plate:

Design: The top and bottom feature red and blue wavy bands, with the state seal in the center.

Text & Slogan: "Missouri" is at the top, with "Show-Me State" at the bottom.

Commemorative Dates: The plate displays "1821–2021" to mark 200 years of statehood.

Plate Structure: Standard plates are embossed (raised lettering), while many specialty plates are flat.

Numbering: The format generally uses an AB1 C2D pattern. The letter "O" is omitted to avoid confusion with the number zero (0).

Requirements: Both front and rear plates are required.

Background and Usage:

These plates replaced the previous bluebird design.

The plates are produced by the Missouri Department of Corrections.

Renewal tabs indicating the year are placed on the plate.

A "Temporary Third License Plate" is available if a rear bike rack or similar device obscures the main plate.
