COLUMBIA, S.C. (WOLO)– A new license plate commemorating the Revolutionary War will be available to South Carolinians starting Friday. Jan. 2, 2026. Required by 2025 state law, the DMV says this plate replaces the “While I breathe, I Hope” plate. Which was previously issued as a stand ard plate for passenger vehicles and motorcycles. The new plate carries no additional cost above standard fees and will be offered alongside the “In God We Trust” plate as the two standard plate options for customers registering vehicles in South Carolina. Already issued “While I Breathe, I Hope” plates remain valid until reaching their ten-year replacement point.
