The Iowa Department
of Transportation (DOT) has approved a special license plate commemorating the
bicentennial of the Lewis and Clark Journey.
Before the DOT can have
these license plates manufactured, 500 pre-paid applications must be received.
The Iowa Lewis and Clark Bicentennial Commission is collecting these applications.
(To download application, see below.)
Revenue generated from
the sale of the license plates will go toward activities commemorating the 200th
anniversary of this epic journey.
If you are interested in
obtaining an Iowa Lewis & Clark Bicentennial license plate, please complete
the application form available below. Print the form and mail it. The application
must be accompanied by a check made payable to the Iowa Lewis & Clark Bicentennial
Commission. Submit $35 for a regular numbered plate, or $60 for a personalized
plate.
Mail the completed application and
the check to:
Iowa Lewis & Clark
Bicentennial Commission
c/o Kathy Gourley, Commission Member & Field Historian
State Historical Society of Iowa
600 East Locust
Des Moines, IA 50319-0290
Once 500 pre-paid applications are
received, the Commission will submit the application package to the Iowa DOT.
The manufacturing and distribution of the plates will be 6 to 8 weeks after the
DOT receives the 500 applications. Distribution of the plates will be through
the vehicle owners’ county treasurers’ offices. When notified that
the plates are ready to be picked up, the owners will exchange their regular plates
and registration for the new Iowa Lewis & Clark Bicentennial plates.
