Conserve Wildlife License Plates

Thank you for showing an interest in the Conserve Wildlife plates.
If you want to show your support for Wildlife Conservation in Connecticut, the Conserve Wildlife license plate is for you - and there are two great designs to choose from. 

You may only acquire the same registration type as is currently on your vehicle. For example, if you currently have combination plates on your vehicle, you can only request combination plates - you cannot request combination plates if your vehicle is currently registered with passenger plates.  Also, if your registration is due to expire within the next 45 days, you must renew your registration before applying for these plates.  Along with the regular renewal fees, there is an additional $15 fee for each renewal of this plate.
