Bring a Black License Plate Option to New Jersey

The Issue

We’re calling on the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission and State Legislature to offer a specialty license plate with a black background and white (or silver) lettering — clean, modern, and simple.

A lot of us care about how our cars look, and we think drivers should have the option to choose a plate that better fits their style. States like California, Texas, and Delaware already offer black plates, and they’ve proven both popular and profitable. There’s no reason New Jersey can’t do the same.

We’re not asking to replace the standard yellow plates — just to add a new option. It could be a vanity plate, a heritage-style plate, or even tied to a cause if needed. We’re more than willing to pay the standard specialty plate fees.

This isn’t just about looks — it’s about offering more choice for NJ drivers while creating a new revenue stream for the state.

If you support the idea of a black license plate option in New Jersey, please sign and share this petition. Let’s make it happen.
