About special license plates
We're experiencing significant delays in our ability to issue personalized and specialty plates. Due to this delay, you may want to consider waiting to apply for a personalized or specialty plate. We don't have a timeline for when production delays will return to normal.
If you applied and your temporary permit is expiring soon, visit a vehicle licensing office to get a new one.
We apologize for any inconvenience this causes
