Acting Island Receiver Minerva Gumbs said the plates were expected to arrive in St. Maarten late next week. They then have to be unpacked and sorted before the public will be able to collect them.
The plates bear the colours of the St. Maarten flag ? red, white and blue ? and have an image of the flag.
The words "Congratulations Country St. Maarten" appear in the background to reflect the major accomplishment of St. Maarten having become a Country within the Dutch Kingdom on 10/10/10.
A total of 26,454 plates have been ordered for 2011. Firgos, which won the bid in 2010, was granted the bid again this year.
The deadline by law to pay the tax is February 28, but the Receiver's Office can set the date for controls later.
Gumbs said a steady stream of persons had been paying their 2011 motor vehicle tax. Motorists are advised to go in and pay their tax.
Government collected more than NAf. 8 million in motor vehicle tax in 2010 and sold 25,966 pairs of number plates, said Gumbs. Government also collected NAf. 8 million in motor vehicle tax in 2008 and NAf. 7.5 million in 2007.
