What happens next?
Your confirmation number shows that you expressed interest in getting a Dark Sky plate. Once 250 people have expressed interest, the DMV will email you to collect the fee and explain how to get your new plate. The document estimates that making the plate will take about six to eight weeks. You’ll need your confirmation number during this process.
How much will the plate cost?
Once your plate is available, you’ll pay the cost of a standard plate, plus a small specialty plate fee and a $25 annual contribution to support dark sky programming in Utah state parks.
Where did this plate come from?
The Utah State Legislature authorized the plate in 2022 through Bill 88. Dark Sky Utah has helped bring the plate to fruition, including supporting a large startup fee.
