That means no part of the information on the license plate can be hidden. A civil infraction is made when this law is broken. However, Michigan law doesn&#8217;t stop you from putting a frame or cover around your license plate as long as the information on the plate is still clear. Keep this simple rule in mind when looking for a license plate frame, so you don&#8217;t end up breaking the law.
