Pennsylvania's Department of Transportation has announced that it will be getting rid of renewal stickers for license plates. The department stated that getting rid of the renewal stickers will save around $3 million a year because they won't have to produce or mail the stickers. This will go into effect at the end of December. Motorists must still have their vehicles inspected and have proper registration cards when asked by police. PennDOT will also let motorists who renew their registration online, print out their registration cards. PennDOT also stated that motorists will not have to scrape or peel off the stickers that are already on the license plates.
