Mississippi will join numerous other states this October when their current license plate, with a magnolia on it, is replaced with a new one featuring the Biloxi Lighthouse. The state is required by law to change their tags every five years, and the new design, with a sunrise behind the lighthouse, is meant to represent the recovery of the coastal areas from the devastating effects of Hurricane Katrina. The Biloxi Lighthouse is Mississippi’s only lighthouse, and is a private aid to navigation owned by the city of Biloxi.
Mississippi will join Connecticut, Delaware, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio and Virginia, all of which have a lighthouse license plate, either as a regular plate, or as a special purchase.
