How many license plates must passenger cars display?

Passenger cars are required to display two license plates, one on the front and one on the rear of the vehicle. This requirement is in place to ensure that vehicles are easily identifiable by law enforcement and other road users, facilitating effective enforcement of traffic regulations and enhancing safety.

In North Dakota, the two-plate requirement aligns with the general practices of many states, helping to standardize identification across different jurisdictions. It is also important for activities such as toll collection and tracking vehicle movements. The absence of one of the plates could lead to citations or complications in vehicle identification.

While some jurisdictions may allow for a single plate option, in North Dakota, passenger vehicles must adhere to the two-plate rule to remain compliant with state vehicle regulations.
