The plates will be manufactured by Reviver and can be updated electronically.
Along with the license plate number, the digital tags will have the potential to display real-time information like Amber Alerts or if the vehicle has been reported stolen.
“We are excited about the digital plate pilot and the potential of this technology to pave the way for additional customer convenience,” said Maryland Department of Transportation Administrator Chrissy Nizer.
Maryland is the fourth state to conduct this type of program with Reviver. California, Michigan and Arizona currently allow states to use electronic license plates instead of traditional plates.
