How much does a custom license plate cost in New York?

I’m looking for cheap ways to personalize my car. I’ve always liked custom license plates, but I’m worried they might be a little outside my price range. Exactly how much should a custom license plate cost in New York?

A custom license plate in
New York
costs $60 upfront, but you’ll need to pay an additional $31.25 whenever you
renew your registration
.
While that may not seem like a lot, it can add up over time. Paying an extra $31.25 on top of your annual registration fees means you’ll be paying an additional $312.50 over the next ten years.
Of course, that’s not such a bad deal if the custom plate means a lot to you. And while it may sound expensive, custom plates are far cheaper than other basic modifications, like slamming your car or having it repainted.
