Colorado has a new license plate – and you’ll probably start seeing it soon

By 01/06/2025 | updated 11 months ago

In June of last year, Colorado Governor Jared Polis approved the creation of a ‘Chicana/o’ special license plate, and as of January 1, it’s an option for drivers hitting the state’s DMV.

The plate features the classic snow-covered mountains typical of many Colorado license plate options, with a sky of red, orange, and yellow. In the center are two hands joining above roses and the phrase “CHICANA/O PRIDE.”

In April 2024 reporting from CPR, Denise Torrez of El Movimiento Sigue – the organization backing the bill to create the plate, described the plate as providing people with a symbol of pride of their heritage, culture, and significance in Colorado. The sunrise is meant to represent “a new beginning,” while the roses represent the beauty of the Chicano/a culture.

(function(w,d,s,i){w.ldAdInit=w.ldAdInit||[];w.ldAdInit.push({slot:11095963150525286,size:[0, 0],id:”ld-2426-4417″});if(!d.getElementById(i)){var j=d.createElement(s),p=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];j.async=true;j.src=”//cdn2.lockerdomecdn.com/_js/ajs.js”;j.id=i;p.parentNode.insertBefore(j,p);}})(window,document,”script”,”ld-ajs”);

This design adds to a long list of more than 200 license plate designs that are available for Colorado drivers (find a list of a few more here).  The only requirement for getting the new ‘Chicana/o Pride’ plate is a $50 donation made to El Movimiento Sigue, along with two one-time $25 fees.

Find this plate and more on the Colorado DMV website.
