AAA East Central and its partners are hosting an event to replace peeling license plates for free next week. 

In Pennsylvania, vehicle owners can be pulled over and fined up to $100 for having a license plate that is deemed illegible. According to PennDOT, a registration plate is deemed illegible when one or more characters cannot be recognized from 50 feet or if the plate shows any blistering, peeling, discoloration, or loss of reflectivity. 

Motorists can request replacement registration plates when an authorized PennDOT or law enforcement representative determines that a plate is illegible. At AAA’s license plate events, officers will examine license plates; if necessary, attendees can place orders for new ones.

Weather permitting, the event will be held Wednesday August 20th, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at AAA Meadville 18939 Park Avenue Plaza, Ste. 7
