Specialty license plates have been available in Arizona for more than 30 years. However, many people don’t know that ADOT does not create new specialty plates on a whim. Read more about how specialty license plates are chosen in Arizona:
So, it's understandable that some people may assume that there's a plate for every conceivable topic, charitable cause, university and sports team.
What many people don’t realize is that ADOT does not create new specialty plates on a whim. New plates must be requested by an organization, sponsored by a lawmaker in the form of a bill, passed by the state legislature and then signed into law by the governor. That process can also be costly – about $32,000. That price tag covers production and other costs related to making the new plates.
But that’s not the end of the process. Requesting organizations work with ADOT to design the plate, which must be readable from 100 yards away. Then, law enforcement officials must approve the plate.Another common misconception is that the state pockets the revenues generated by specialty plate sales. Most specialty plates cost $25 per year and $17 goes straight to a designated charitable cause, while the rest is used for plate materials and production.
In the 2022 calendar year, more than 770,000 specialty license plates were purchased, generating millions of dollars for worthy causes and charitable organizations in Arizona.
