(St. Paul, MN) — Minnesotans have been showing a great interest in one of the state’s newest specialty license plates, as nearly 50,000 of the new blackout license plates have been purchased since they were introduced on January 1st.

The Driver and Vehicle Services Division expects to sell about 160,000 of these plates this year, which would make it the most popular specialty plate in Minnesota’s history.

The purchase of these plates contributes to a state fund dedicated to the operation of Driver and Vehicle Services.
