PennDOT is continuing to produce Pitt license plates for our new customers. Please be advised though, that PennDOT has been producing specialty plates in limited quantities since resuming production after a temporary shutdown last year due to COIVD-19. As a result, PennDOT is no longer able to offer a timetable of when a new order will be fulfilled. Once PennDOT is operating at full capacity again, we expect to be able to offer a specific time frame on new orders. Until then, the wait time is longer than usual, but rest assured that all new applications for a Pitt license plate will be processed.
Pennsylvania residents: Show your Pride wherever you drive! University of Pittsburgh alumni, faculty, staff, and friends can purchase a University of Pittsburgh specialty license plate.
