To get an antique license plate, your current title must be surrendered and the SCDMV will issue you a new title marked Antique. The fee for a new title is $15. To qualify for an antique license plate, the automobile or motorcycle must be at least 25 years old. The vehicle is to be used in club activities, exhibits, tours, parades and similar events, but cannot be used for general transportation. When the vehicle is sold, junked, or otherwise disposed of, you must return the antique plate to an SCDMV branch. The plate costs $10.
