Idaho moves to permanent license plates

| July 2, 2026 1:00 AM

BOISE — Two major updates to Idaho’s vehicle registration system took effect July 1, simplifying requirements for drivers and reducing long-term costs for the state.

Under House Bill 533, Idaho will no longer issue or require annual registration stickers on license plates. A valid plate and current vehicle registration now fully meet state law. The change is expected to save approximately $300,000 each year in materials and production. Drivers must still register vehicles and are encouraged to keep a printed copy of their registration in their vehicles.
