The initial registration fee is $40, of which $12 goes to cover the state’s production cost of the plate and $28 returns to MFH. Note that your $28 is a tax-deductible charitable donation! There is an additional one-time $20 swap fee charged by the state when applicants pick up their plate at their local RMV. A renewal fee set by the State of Massachusetts will be due every two years. For future renewals, the entire fee is tax-deductible and will support the programs and services of MFH, with 25% supporting the Disabled American Veterans Department of Massachusetts transportation program.
