plate

As of January 1, 2026, South Carolina began issuing a new standard license plate to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution. This plate, which replaces the former blue "While I Breathe, I Hope" design, features the historic Moultrie flag (blue with a white crescent and "Liberty") and the phrase "Where the Revolutionary War Was Won".

Key Details of the New 2026 Standard Plate:

Design: Features the Moultrie flag, with the text "Where the Revolutionary War Was Won".

Purpose: Commemorates the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution (SC250).

Availability: Issued upon registration renewal at all SCDMV branches starting in Jan. 2026.

Transition: Replaces the previous blue "While I Breathe, I Hope" design (in use 2015-2025) over a 10-year cycle.

Alternative Standard Option: Customers can still choose the "In God We Trust" plate as a standard option.

Motorists with the previous design may continue to use it until their normal 10-year expiration date.
