Oregon launches puffin license plate after 3,000 pre-sales, supporting seabird conservation.

Oregon is launching a new puffin-themed license plate after the Oregon Coast Aquarium sold 3,000 pre-sale vouchers, meeting the production threshold. The plate features a tufted puffin and supports conservation efforts for native seabirds and endangered marine species. A 6-7 month wait is expected, with voucher holders notified about a month before pickup. Plates will be available at DMV offices statewide once production ends.
