Antique Classic and Vintage Registration Plates in Pennsylvania

Legal Framework and Validity

The use of antique, classic, and vintage registration plates in Pennsylvania is regulated by Section 1340 of the Pennsylvania Vehicle Code. Both antique and classic registration plates remain valid for the lifetime of the vehicle as long as the ownership remains unchanged.

Transfer of Ownership

In the event that the vehicle is sold, the registration plates cannot be transferred to the new owner. The new owner must obtain a new set of registration plates for the vehicle.
