How to Order a Long Island Sound License Plate Sample Long Island Sound license plate

Long Island Sound license plates are easy to order. You can obtain an application form from the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) website or call 1-800-CT-SOUND. Off-the-shelf plates can be purchased directly at a branch office of the Department of Motor Vehicles or from a participating on-line automobile dealer when you purchase a new car.

The cost of the plate is a one-time charge. In the future, you just pay your required registration fee.

Connecticut drivers who care about their state's environment have purchased approximately 126,000 Long Island Sound license plates since the beginning of the program. The program raised more than $4 million from the sale of license plates and donations for projects to help restore the Sound and its habitats, foster educational opportunities, increase public access to the Sound, and conduct research.
