Starting next March, Virginia will issue “Virginia is for Lovers” license plates as the standard-issue plate. The new plate will replace the plain blue and white plates which have been the standard for the past couple of decades.
“Soon, we will utilize Virginia’s timeless slogan to help promote our great commonwealth. Every time a Virginia-registered car sporting one of these tags travels outside of the state, people around the nation will be reminded that Virginia is a tremendous destination for businesses and tourists,” Gov. Bob McDonnell said in a statement.
The “Virginia is for Lovers” campaign will celebrate its 45th birthday in 2014.
