Troops on leave should consider short-term plates

Secretary Terri Lynn Land reminds vehicle owners of temporary option U.S. military personnel and other Michigan motorists have the option of buying temporary license plates for vehicles they drive infrequently, Secretary of State Terri Lynn Land reminded them today. ''Instead of buying a full-year license plate, military personnel and other drivers should consider these less-costly plates,'' Land said. ''They're a great alternative for service members home for a short time.'' A 30-day plate costs one-tenth of the vehicle's annual registration fee or $20, whichever is more, plus a $10 service fee. A 60-day plate costs one-fifth of the registration fee or $40, whichever is more, plus a $10 service fee. The plate is a paper permit that must be displayed in the vehicle's rear window. People can apply for the temporary plates at any Secretary of State office. They will need to bring proof of Michigan no-fault insurance and proof of ownership, such as the vehicle's Michigan title or expired plate registration.
