NEW YORK — New York wants to know: what’s your sign? Drivers can now choose from 12 custom license plate designs to match their zodiac sign.
The Department of Motor Vehicles says the license plates are the first of their kind. They include images of the zodiac signs, such as a crab for Cancer or a lion for Leo, as well as the phases of the moon.
“Custom plates are a way for New Yorkers to express their many interests,” DMV Commissioner Mark JF Schroeder, a Sagittarius, said in a statement announcing the new plates. “The DMV recognizes that every customer is unique, and we support that by choosing from a variety of custom plate options.”
New York offers more than 200 custom license plate designs – from military and law enforcement to sports teams, colleges and special causes – and a portion of the fees support charities.
The Zodiac plates cost $60 for the first year, or up to $91.25 if drivers choose to personalize their plates. The annual renewal costs $31.25, or $62.50 for the personalized option. Drivers must pay every two years when they renew their license plate.
Custom plates can be ordered online at the DMV website or by calling (518)-402-4838.
