Events

Hard-to-Read License Plate Event
Thursday, Aug. 7, 4-7 p.m.
Slatington Elementary School
1201 Shadow Oaks Lane, Slatington

This event is by appointment only. Please call my Slatington district office at 610-760-9805 to RSVP.

Does your license plate have one or more numbers or letters that cannot be recognized from 50 feet away? Is your plate blistered, peeling, discolored or lost its reflectivity? If so, you should have your license plate replaced.

To help facilitate the process to turn in the illegible plate for a new one, I am teaming up with state police for this event.

While there, the police will determine if the plate is illegible, and if so, we will help drivers fill out the appropriate paperwork. There is no fee for the replacement or this service. Once submitted to PennDOT, the replacement plate will be sent to your home address.
