If you’re getting ready to take your new car on the Pasadena roads, you might be wondering, “Do I need a front license plate in CA?” The answer is yes. While some drivers crave the sleek and streamlined look of a plate-free ride, California requires you to have both a front and rear license plate to drive legally. Find out what you need to know about California license plate rules with our car buying tips from Rusnak Auto Group.
The California license plate rules indicate that drivers must secure front and rear license plates securely. The license plate number must be clearly visible and easily legible from left to right. So if you’re getting back from a muddy off-road excursion around Thousand Oaks, don’t forget to get a good detailing. If you want to keep your license plate spotless, drivers are also allowed to utilize license plate accessories, like shields and covers. However, these accessories cannot interfere with the visibility of the plate number or the recognition of a license plate by an electronic device operated by state or local law enforcement.
Some new vehicle brands do not include a way to mount a permanent front license plate. While this may be legal in other states, as of 2019, CA front license plate requirements state that all passenger vehicles must attach two plates to avoid costly fees. There are a few ways to accomplish this on a car without a traditional plate mount.
