Pre-Order A Special Plate!
We are now taking orders for these special plates! Pre-order yours NOW!
Our long term goal is to provide support to the Sailors and their Families in meaningful, impactful, and sustainable ways for the duration of the Service of USS Massachusetts SSN 798. This is through job and education transition programs, scholarships, visits to the State community engagement by the crew, relief for emergency expenses, and boosting the crew’s morale funds.
Your support via the plate fee offsets the cost of these programs benefiting the Sailors and their Families.​
Company-owned and leased vehicles can't order special plates online.
​
The fee for the USS Massachusetts plate is $40 and is 100% tax deductible. If you have an existing MA license plate that you will be turning in for your new USS Massachusetts plate, you will be subject to a $20 plate swap fee, and any other registration fees (for example, your registration may be due at time of plate pick-up). Registrations must still be renewed every two years, and the $40 plate fee continues to be tax-deductible every two years. A $1.46 processing fee is included in order to process the amount of purchases.
