MAYOR: Replace Defaced License Plates

Mayor Anthony J. Court has issued the following information concerning defaced license plates:

If your license plate is defaced and you are stopped by the Ellwood City Police Department, you will be provided a form to fill out and an officer will inspect your plate.

You can send the form in to the address provided on the form and they will issue you a new plate.

The Ellwood City Police Department is located in the municipal building at 525 Lawrence Avenue, for questions, call 724-758-7777.

Act 133 of 2008 eliminated the requirement for PennDOT to replace license plates every 10 years. The measure saves the commonwealth approximately $59 million over a three year period. Prior to the law going into effect, PennDOT was required to replace license plates every 10 years. The last time license plates were replaced was in 1999. [READ MORE]
