    How does EZ Plate work?

    Who can use DMV EZ to order a personalized/special plate?

    What do I need to have to order a personalized/special plate?
    • The Vehicle Registration (this is optional, but will simplify the process of finding your vehicle record).
    • A valid Visa, MasterCard, American Express, or Discover credit/debit/check card.
    • A web browser that supports Secure Socket Layer (SSL) such as Netscape or Internet Explorer.
    Where will my plate be mailed?

    You are required by law to provide your current mailing address. Your personalized/special plate, tabs and registration will be mailed to your address on record. If your personalized/special plate and tabs are mailed to the wrong address, they will need to be re-issued, and this may result in a $5 re-issue fee. Please ensure that your address is correct before ordering.

    How long will it take to get my plate in the mail?

    Personalized plate orders are reserved pending final approval. If approved, the plate will be mailed to you within 3-4 weeks. Specialty plate orders will be mailed within 5 business days.

    How do I change my address?

    MVD has developed a computer system that links all of your records together. This means that when you change your address on your vehicle registration, it will automatically change the address on each vehicle on which you are listed as the registration recipient and on your driver license.

    Registration recipient is defined as the vehicle owner or registrant who is designated on the MVD database to receive the registration for a vehicle.

    To change your address, you will need your name, date of birth, and driver license or identification card number. Click here to change your address.
