Registration Expires
All Plates The annual renewal special plate fee will be due when your vehicle registration is next renewed. If your registration
expires within the next three months, you may wish to renew the registration early, before submitting this application, to avoid
the first annual renewal special plate fee.
Plates may only be issued for a vehicle that is currently registered or leased in your name. If leased but not registered in your
name, submit a document showing you as lessee. Some plates may not be issued to commercial vehicles with a declared gross
vehicle weight of 26,001 lbs or more. A lost or mutilated plate may be replaced for $5.00 (plus postage/handling, if mailed).
Please be aware that it is a Class 2 misdemeanor to alter or modify any Arizona license plate, per A.R.S. §28-2531(B)(1).
Disability Symbol
(International Symbol of Access) For parking in specially marked spaces. Must complete form # 96-0104
(available online), signed by a physician, hospital administrator or registered nurse practitioner; or have one on file. Available to
individuals and organizations.
Personalized Plates Allow six weeks for processing. Your new plate will be mailed to you. All personalized choices must be
approved. We may refuse to issue or may suspend any plate that suggests a meaning that is offensive, misleading or that
duplicates any existing plate or plate series. The fee for a remake of a plate already ordered or issued is $5.00 plus
postage/handling; if the vehicle registration has expired, full renewal fees are required.
If after one year from the vehicle registration refund or expiration, you have not transferred the plate to another vehicle you
own, the plate format will be canceled and become available for reissue to another person.
All personalized plates (except for trailers) may have the disability symbol as the first character, at no added charge. If you are
eligible, check the
in first column below, instead of filling in a letter/number in that box (see example), and attach form #
96-0104. The number of characters available for a letter/number for that plate will be reduced by one to allow for the symbol.
Use only capital letters and numbers. No punctuation or other symbols. Use I for i, L for l, 1 for one, and V (underlined) for v.
Choices with the maximum number of characters may not have spaces. Choices will automatically be centered on the plate.
Choices with less than the maximum characters may have half spaces (indicate with single slash “/” ) or full spaces.
To check on the availability of your choice, visit www.servicearizona.com.
