Both the standard and specialty plates can be personalized. See form HSMV 83043 for information on the combinations of letters and numerals that are acceptable for each type of plate. The first time a personalized plate is issued, a manufacturing fee of $28.00 is charged, along with the other costs, taxes, and fees. Renewal of a personalized plate may be done with the regular registration after the first year for an additional $15.00. With certain exceptions, personalized plates may be ordered for private or company owned cars, trucks, motor homes, and motorcycles. Applications for personalized plates are submitted to the Tax Collector’s office. DHSMV also provides an online Personalized License Plate Inquiry, which allows you to find out if a personalized plate configuration is available. Please contact our customer service representatives at (305) 295-5080 if you have any questions or need assistance with pricing.
