You will still need a Recreation Passport. You can purchase a window sticker at a state park or customer service center. The sticker will be good for the rest of the calendar year. Because these plates are not eligible for purchase during the regular renewal process at the Secretary of State, the passport can be purchased with a convenience fee. This applies to any Michigan license plate that does not renew annually, including:
Antique car.
Manufacturer.
Municipal.
Non-profit organization (Y plate).
Tribal government.
