Actually, yes. Other states do have more than one license plate. Wisconsin has a few. Maybe it's not the official Wisconsin plate like you're speaking of with the Michigan plates. You can order the regular Wisconsin plate or choose. At the DMV there is a whole wall of plates to choose from. I've seen a lot of people with Yellow plates and green lettering for the green bay packers (eww). As for getting your new plates.. I don't know. In WI we always get the new expiration date stickers sent in the mail and all we do is stick them on.. or so I think. I'm new at this plate thing.
