Folsom and Roseville, California, Nissan dealerships are raising the bar by having digital license plates available for purchase.

ReviverMX, a technology solutions company, touts its capability to offer the world’s first digital license plate and has recently announced its partnership with Future Automotive Group to sell Reviver Rplates through its Future Nissan dealerships in Folsom and Roseville.

"The license plate is the only remaining element of a vehicle that heretofore has remained untouched by technology's advances," General Manager of Future Nissan Kevin Mantz told Auto Remarketing.

Rplates is a game changer, according to Reviver Founder and Chief Security Officer Neville Boston. Apart from making it easier to conduct a number of DMV (Department of Motor Vehicles) transactions, and providing an aesthetic style to the vehicle, the plates also invite prospective car shoppers to initiate conversations as they inquire about vehicles that have Rplates displayed on them. Future Nissan dealerships' digital plates exhibit the Future Nissan logo.

Future Nissan will offer Rplates with new Nissan vehicles and through its service lanes.

At present, ReviverMX offers Rplates through various automotive dealerships in California and Arizona, and affinity groups such as Susan G. Komen and the Arizona State University Alumni Association, but it's preparing to have the Rplate Pro become available to small- and medium-sized commercial fleets. Eleven more states are actively looking at the possibility of adopting Reviver plates, according to Auto Remarketing.
