plate

As of 2026, standard New Jersey passenger license plates are flat (not embossed) with a yellow-to-white gradient background, featuring "New Jersey" at the top and "Garden State" at the bottom. Current issues follow a ABC-12D format, with the "root" character currently being in the U series as of mid-2024.

Key Features of Current NJ Plates:

Design: Reflective white/yellow gradient background with black lettering.

Format: ABC-12D (3 letters, 2 numbers, 1 letter).

Material: Flat, printed digital license plate (DLP) technology.

Phrasing: "New Jersey" at the top, "Garden State" at the bottom.

Letters: The letters "I", "O", and "Q" are generally not used in the serial numbers to avoid confusion.

Registration Details:

Issuance: Two plates are issued (front and rear).

Visibility: Must be clean, unobstructed, and illuminated, with a $100 fine for covering or obscuring letters.

Specialty Plates: Options such as Liberty State Park are available, which often support specific causes.

Note: While some legislation has been introduced regarding returning to older blue plates or moving to single plates, the flat yellow-white gradient remains the standard as of early 2026.
