Each state has its own procedure to validate enough interest to create a specialty plate (or for some states specialty stickers approved for the plate) and often requires a quota of applications before the plate will be produced and made available to the public. Additionally, this interest must be maintained, for without additional requests for the plate it will eventually be discontinued. Depending upon the state, a portion of the specialty plate fee may be donated to an identified charity, most often the nonprofit who advocated for the plate’s creation. Requesting these plates is a simple way to support childhood cancer and raise awareness on the streets driven every day.
This map outlines the status of specialty plates across the country, indicating states that have a plate available and states that have a person/nonprofit completing the process and how to contact them. If your state doesn’t have a plate and a process hasn’t already begun, interested parties can contact the state’s department that manages vehicle license plates to learn more about how to create one.
Thank you to everyone who advocates for our children in such a simple, yet meaningful way. Safe travels!
