Snoopy Lovers Will Love New CA License Plate!

BAY AREA, CA – A new California license plate, intended to help fund state museums, zoos, aquariums, and science centers, will feature the Peanuts comic strip's beloved beagle "Snoopy."

These are places the Peanuts gang creator, Charles M. Schulz, visited to gather inspiration for story lines that brought his endearing characters to life, according to the artist’s family and the California Department of Motor Vehicles.

A portion of the fees that the DMV collects from orders of the "Snoopy" plate will be placed into a designated fund administered by the California Cultural and Historical Endowment.

“The Snoopy license plate will not only serve as a reminder about the importance of our cultural attractions in California, but will also help raise money to support these educational efforts,” said DMV Director Jean Shiomoto. “Like the plate says, museums are for everyone.”

To order the California museums ‘Snoopy’ license plate, visit www.dmv.ca.gov. Sequential (standard numbering) plates can be purchased for $50. Personalized (custom numbers/letters) plates cost $98. Renewal rates are $40 and $78, respectively.

For more information about how proceeds from the ‘Snoopy’ license plate program will be allocated, visit the California Natural Resources Agency’s website at http://resources.ca.gov/cche/snoopyplate/ .
