How do I purchase a personalized license
plate?
Personalized license plates may be issued to any motor vehicle
owner or lessee except a vehicle which requires "Restricted,"
"Apportioned," "Wrecker," or dual (two)
truck license plates. Applications must be submitted to the
license plate agency for approval or rejection of license
plate choices to ensure that obscene or objectionable choices
are not processed. Cost is an additional $12 annual fee for
each personalized license plate. Applications may be submitted
at any time during the year. The manufacturer has 45 calendar
days (from the date the order is received by manufacturer,
not the date the license plate was ordered in the local tax
collector's office) to manufacture and ship the license plate.
License plates are issued for the current registration period
unless application is made during the advance registration
period (3 months preceding the owner's birth month or designated
registration period). When application is made during the
advance registration period and full registration tax is paid,
the license plate will expire the following year. Apply at
your local tax collector's office. Click

and sports license plates, may have up to 5 characters with
