Good morning !
I have noticed lately a fair amount of licence plates with peeling paint.
This makes then un readable to Law Enforcement , especially at night with little or no reflective paint to make them visible .
A plate is peeling when the protective film has detached from the plate, causing it to become illegible or unreadable. Plates must be plainly visible and clearly legible. The fine for displaying an illegible licence plate is $25-$100.
What to do if yours is peeling ?
If you have a peeling licence plate, Service Nova Scotia will give you a new plate for free when you visit an Access Nova Scotia Centre.
If you have a defective licence plate, Service Nova Scotia will give you a new plate for free when you bring the defective plate to an Access Nova Scotia Centre.
If you have a defective licence plate within the e-series (EAAOO1 to EZZ999), they will replace the plate for free with or without the return of the plate. This particular range of plates have had more issues than others.
