INSTRUCTIONS FOR OBTAINING THE SPECIAL LICENSE PLATE

RESTRICTIONS – Issuance is restricted to passenger cars, all ½ ton and ¾ ton trucks, and 1 ton trucks use for private transportation only. One (1) ton trucks used for commercial purposes must be registered with a commercial license.

In addition to normal annual registration fees, there are additional fees in the amounts of twenty-five dollars ($25.00) for the Breast Cancer Research Fund and ten dollars ($10.00) for handling and administrative costs. These fees are due annually.

See the bottom of this page for the Revenue Offices where these plates are available. If a special plate is lost, it may be replaced with another special plate only in the offices listed. The special plates may be renewed in any Revenue Office, by mail, Internet, or telephone. They may be transferred to a newly acquired vehicle in any Revenue Office.

OBTAINING A SPECIAL LICENSE PLATE FOR A VEHICLE ALREADY TITLED AND REGISTERED TO THE APPLICANT

REQUIREMENTS – Two options are available when obtaining a special plate when the vehicle is already titled and registered in the applicant’s name.

Option 1 – If the applicant’s existing plate is current, it may be replaced with a special plate. With this option, the special plate will keep the same expiration date as the plate being replaced. Applicants will get the entire benefit of the full registration fee paid for the plate being replaced. However, since the expiration date will remain the same, they will not get a full year’s benefit of the $25.00 or $10.00 special fees. When renewing, the applicant will be required to pay both additional fees again.

Fees for obtaining the plate using option 1 are as follows:

Special design use fee for the special plate is………………………………$ 25.00
Fee for replacement of the regular plate……………………………………. 1.00
Special fee for administrative costs………………………………………… 10.00
Postage fee (if the transaction is done by mail)…………………………… 1.25 or if in person .25 cents
Total Fees (if the transaction is done by mail)……………………………… 37.25 or if in person 36.25

Other requirements are:

• Completed request for Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Education, Research, and Awareness Special License Plate form.

Option 2 – The applicant may request to pay the normal full year registration fee for the vehicle and begin the special license plate with a full year’s registration. With this option, the applicant will get full benefit of the $25.00 and $10.00 additional fees. However, no credit will be given for the time remaining on the plate being replaced.

Fees for obtaining the plate using option 2 are as follows:

The full year registration fee normally due for the vehicle will be due. For passenger cars, this fee will either be $17.00, $25.00, or $30.00 depending on the vehicle’s unladen weight. For qualifying trucks (see restrictions) the full year fee is $21.00.

Special fee for Breast Cancer Research Fund is $25.00
Validation decal fee is $2.50
Special fee for administrative costs is $10.00
Postage fee if the transaction is done by mail is $1.25

Total fees depend on the normal registration fee for the vehicle and postage fees.

Other requirements are:

• Completed request for Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Education, Research, and Awareness Special License Plate form.
