The Hamilton County Clerk's Office has announced it may now issue standard vehicle registration plates which include the words "In God We Trust."
A supply of the optional standard plates have been received by the office and are available upon request, Hamilton County Clerk Bill Knowles said.
"The law regulating the new plate calls for a one-time $2 fee to swap an existing plate prior to the plate expiration date plus the normal $2.50 registration fee," Knowles said. "The $2 special fee is a one-time charge for swapping, renewing a current registration, or making application for a vehicle title."
After paying the $2 fee, a motorist may renew the special registration at the standard $29 registration fee stipulated in the IMPROVE Act, he said. Unlike other specialty plates, the new "In God We Trust" plates do not require higher fees.
