Submit Application to Create an Organizational Plate
Applications for creation of a new specialty license plate may be submitted to the Department at any time. Upon receipt of an application the Department will acknowledge the receipt or request any additional required information. Certification or denial of an application will occur within four weeks of submission.
Organizations will be notified of certification or denial. Upon certification, organizations who do not submit a plate design with their original application will be required to send an electronic version of their design to the Department (design must be received a minimum of 12 weeks prior to submission of 250 pre-paid applications). Once a design is submitted and finalized, organizations are required to submit 250 prepaid applications from individuals for such license plate design along with one form of payment for the total amount due of $17,500 ($70 per application) in order to initiate manufacture of the plates and to open application for such plates to the public.
The initial 250 applications must be for the consecutively issued alpha/numeric combinations assigned by the Department of Motor Vehicles. After receipt of the initial 250 applications and public offering of the plates, plates may be ordered with an available message of the applicant's choosing.
