WA SB5127

Collector vehicle license plate applicants must provide proof of ownership and valid registration for a second vehicle used for daily driving, commuting, or business purposes, effective January 15, 2026

Collector vehicle owners must maintain liability insurance meeting minimum amounts under RCW 46.29.090 and provide proof when registering; vehicles with collector plates may only be used for club activities, exhibitions, tours, parades, and occasional pleasure driving

Horseless carriage license plates are redefined to apply only to vehicles manufactured before January 1, 1916, rather than the previous standard of "at least forty years old"

The Department of Licensing may cancel collector vehicle registrations if owners fail to respond within 45 days to requests for information about insurance and plate usage

Knowingly providing a false or facsimile license plate when applying for collector plates results in a traffic infraction and fine equal to penalties under RCW 46.16A.200(7)(b), plus the cost of the plate
