New Oregon plate features Crater Lake The Oregon Department of Motor Vehicles on Tuesday released the final design for the Crater Lake license plate, which will be available for Oregon vehicles starting Aug. 26. The plate, which bears an image of the unique volcanic lake with Wizard Island, carries a one-time surcharge of $10 per plate or $20 per pair, which is earmarked for the National Park Foundation for projects at Crater Lake National Park. The plate’s cost depends on when the customer purchases it: At registration renewal: $58 — $30 registration fee, $20 Crater Lake surcharge, $5 replacement transaction fee and $3 plate manufacturing fee. Before renewal: $33 — $20 Crater Lake surcharge, $10 replacement fee and $3 plate fee. New car with four-year registration: $83 — $60 four-year registration fee, $20 Crater Lake surcharge and $3 plate fee. New car with two-year registration: $53 — $30 registration fee, $20 Crater Lake surcharge and $3 plate fee. The plate was created by Senate Bill 821 (penned by Sen. Jason Atkinson of Jacksonville) and passed by the 2001 Legislature. It is the first new Oregon license plate since the salmon plate was approved in 1997 and issued in February 1998. Crater Lake is Oregon’s only National Park. The lake, the world’s seventh-deepest at 1,947 feet, was formed about 7,700 years ago by an explosive eruption that destroyed Mount Mazama.
