Vehicle registration plates of the United States for 1960

Most of the fifty states of the US plus many of its territories and the District of Columbia issued license plates for registered vehicles for the calendar year 1960.

In 1960, most states and territories issued plates that were valid for one year only and plates dated 1960 usually expired before December 31, though the expiration dates varied from state to state. A few states, such as New York, issued plates that could be renewed for at least one more year, subject to the payment to do so and the addition of a metal tab covering the original plate's expiration date and bearing the new year of expiration. Even fewer states issued multi-year plates that could be renewed annually using adhesive stickers. Only Massachusetts did not issue license plates dated 1960, instead revalidating 1959 plates with windshield stickers.

During this era, license plates in the US and Canada were standardized in size at 12" × 6", as per an agreement with North American automobile manufacturers implemented in 1956. This applied only to license plates on cars and trucks, as motorcycles and other specialized vehicles often were issued smaller-sized tags.
