The Pennsylvania MV-11V form is an application used to request permission to display a vintage registration plate on an antique or classic motor vehicle. This form allows vehicle owners to showcase a plate from the model year of their vehicle, subject to specific regulations. A fee of $75 is required for the application, which includes guidelines on usage and eligibility.
The Pennsylvania MV-11V form serves as an application for individuals seeking to display a vintage registration plate on their antique or classic motor vehicles. This form allows vehicle owners to request permission from the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) to use a vintage plate from the vehicle's model year, rather than the standard antique or classic registration plate. To initiate this process, applicants must pay a fee of $75. It is important to note that the use of vintage registration plates is restricted under Pennsylvania law; these plates cannot be used for general daily transportation but are permitted for specific activities such as club events, exhibits, and parades. Additionally, the vehicle must already be designated as an antique or classic to qualify for a vintage plate. If the vehicle lacks this designation, the applicant must complete a separate form, MV-11, and pay the associated fees. The MV-11V form also requires detailed information about the vehicle, the requested vintage plate, and includes a certification section to affirm the authenticity of the registration plate. To ensure compliance, applicants are encouraged to verify the availability of their desired plate configuration through PennDOT’s online services. This form is a vital step for enthusiasts wishing to showcase their vehicles while adhering to state regulations.

Application to Display a Vintage Registration Plate
For Department Use Only
In lieu of an antique or classic registration plate, the owner of an antique or classic motor vehicle may request permission from PennDOT to display a vintage registration plate from the model year of the motor vehicle. The fee to display a vintage registration plate is $75.
The use of a vintage registration plate is governed by Section 1340 of the Pennsylvania Vehicle Code which states: “It is unlawful for any person to operate a motorcycle or vehicle with antique, classic, collectible or vintage registration plates for general daily transportation. Permitted use shall be limited to participation in club activities, exhibits, tours, parades, occasional transportation and similar uses.”
Occasional transportation and similar use is defined as one day a week.
To display a vintage registration plate, the vehicle must already be branded as an antique or classic vehicle. If the vehicle is not branded as an antique or classic vehicle, you must also complete and submit Form MV-11, "Application for Permanent Antique, Classic or Collectible Registration Plate" and pay all appropriate fees.
Although buses and trucks are eligible for Antique, Classic and Vintage registration plates, buses MAY NOT be used to transport passengers and trucks MAY NOT haul cargo. Vintage motorcycle plates may only be displayed on antique or classic motorcycles.
No registration configuration will be duplicated. PennDOT recommends that applicants verify if the configuration of the vintage plate can be issued by checking the configuration on PennDOT’s website. The customer can check the plate availability at www.dmv.state.pa.us by selecting the Online Driver and Vehicle Services link on the left-hand side navigation bar and click on the Personalized Vanity and Vintage Plate Availability link under Vehicle Registration Services.
