First look at Utah’s new ‘America 250’ license plate available in June

SALT LAKE CITY (ABC4) — For the 250th birthday of the United States, the Beehive State is unveiling a brand new license plate designed for the occasion.

The Utah Design Review Board has just unveiled its new “America 250” license plate, which will be available to Utahns beginning June 1, 2026.

What to know about events marking America’s 250th

The license plate features a blue background with the 1776 American flag covering the left side, while a subtle pattern using the beehive logo from the Utah State flag crosses the right side. The design review board, which oversees visual standards for license plates and driver’s licenses, says this design, “honors the nation’s founding while maintaining a clean, recognizable look consistent with Utah’s new design standards.”

“Utahns are excited to celebrate America’s 250th anniversary and reflect on the principles that
have shaped our nation. This plate is a simple way for people across our state to show that
pride and be part of this historic milestone,” Senator Dan McCay, Senate representative on the Design Review Board, is quoted as saying.

These America 250 license plates will only be available for one year, and sales will conclude on July 31, 2027, “marking the close of the semiquincentennial celebration period.”

Utahns can visit dmv.utah.gov to request the license plate and even customize it for a fee. The Utah State Tax Commission notes that while “USA250” is used on the example, it is not an available option.
