The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet says license plates, beginning next year, will have a different feel to them. The new plates will be flat and digitally printed rather than embossed with raised letters and numerals.
Making the plates flat will reduce manufacturing costs but the background graphics and pricing for standard and special license plates will stay the same.
Late next year, vehicle owners with plates older than eight years will be part of the first phase of drivers offered the new plates when they renew their registration. Following that, all other Kentucky drivers will have a chance at the plate redesign.
