Arizona License Plates

Personalized/Vanity Plates in Arizona

<<Intro and Most Recently Seen Personalized Plates

More Personalized Plates>>

Here are some samples of personalized plates that I have seen around town. I will constantly be adding new ones. As I do, I will add them to the top, so they are easy for you to find. I assume that I have the meanings correct, but I'll never know! Maybe these will spark some ideas for your own personalized plates. If you see a fun or clever license plate, send me an email and tell me about it. Maybe I'll add it to the list!

There are many options available in Arizona for specialized license plates. With more than thirty types of specialized license plates in Arizona, you can adorn your vehicle with a Former P.O.W. plate or  Purple Heart plate, or a Street Rod plates or Horseless Carriage plate. The most popular plate is, of course, the one that carries no extra charge. The standard passenger license plate has three numbers and three letters, assigned by the Motor Vehicle Department ("MVD"). If you want to get a personalized plate, there will be an annual $25 charge. The personalized passenger plate has a maximum of 7 characters that may be any combination of numbers, letters and spaces. No punctuation or symbols are allowed. All choices must be approved by MVD. Those choices for license plates that are considered inappropriate by MVD will be declined.

There is less concern about personalizing a license plate in Arizona now, since the law changed in 2002 and allows you to keep your license plate even if you sell your car. That's good news! Unless, of course, you had a plate like "MY BMW" and you decide to purchase a Cadillac....
