License Plate Gallery

The Wisconsin Pages:

Researching the history and schematics of motor vehicle registration plates.

Please note: Wisconsin license plates are a difficult subject for me to discuss since I came to associate them with a painful seven-year period of my life I wish I could rewind and erase. For this reason, these pages have not been actively updated since 2013.

This website has no connection to any government entity or issuing agency; but is rather intended for license plate collectors and others with an interest in the subject.


Pages with the with tables icon include data tables.
