Marissa Dabila expects the end of the month will be a little bit crazy in Albany County for those renewing their license plates.

That’s because there’s a shortage of the new Wyoming plates that rolled out earlier this year and hundreds of people are trying to get renewed on time.

“There’s four of us up here at the counter and we each probably go through a box of 100 each week,” Dabila told Cowboy State Daily. “So, we’re going through 400 plates every week, and they’re only sending us 100 a week for cars and trucks.”

That has Dabila and other clerks in the Albany County Treasurer’s Office telling patrons whose plates don’t renew until the end of the month to wait until then.

Those who wish to can leave a check for the office and get their plates postage-free in the mail, Dabila added.
