License Plate Mailing Envelopes

 

For decades New Mexico distributed its license plates in mailing envelopes which were imprinted with the serial number of of the plates inside of them. They are known to have been made this way at least as early as 1915 and as late as 1946, and may well have been the same for all years in between. (New Mexico’s current envelopes, an example of which is shown here, do not bear the serial number.) If you have plates with matching envelopes for years and/or types not illustrated here, please contact us.
 
                  
             
 
             
 
             
 
             
 
 
             
 
         
 
   
 
             
 
    
 
             
 
     
 
    
Mailing envelopes for early 1970s Vanity plates, DIESEL and VELOCE (meaning “fast” in Italian). These are from about 1971 to no later than 1977, as the name of the Department of Motor Vehicles was changed to the Motor Vehicle Division in 1978.
