Eligible Vehicles: All vehicles that are registered in NYS as a passenger class vehicle or
as a commercial class vehicle are eligible. (Note: Commercial plates must display the
word "COMMERCIAL".) Certain custom plates are available for Motorcycles that are
registered in NYS (refer to the plate gallery).
Eligible Persons: An organization can require you to prove that you are eligible to use
the organization picture plates (refer to the plate gallery). Certain organization picture
plates must be ordered through the organization or the Custom Plates Unit only.
International Symbol of Access (ISA)
: Custom Plates that include the ISA for
individuals who qualify are only available through the Custom Plates Unit (CPU). See the
form MV-664.1 to learn how to order custom plates that include the ISA, or call the
Custom Plates unit at (518) 402-4838.
Sample plates: Sample plates are not available.
How to Order: Custom plates can normally be ordered online, but certain picture plates
require proof or certification and must be ordered through the Custom Plates Unit or the
organization. The DMV web site has more information about the fees and how to order.
Plate Numbers: A custom plate displays a designated or assigned plate number, but you
can select a personalized combination for many custom plates for an additional fee.
Personalized plate numbers must include at least two, but not more than six, characters
and spaces (four characters and spaces for motorcycles or if the ISA
is requested).
You can check online for available combinations. (Refer to the Custom Plate Gallery.)
Delivery: Allow six weeks for delivery of your custom plates. Your mailing address on file
with the DMV must be your current mailing address. You cannot change your address
using this transaction. You can first change your address online, and then process
this transaction. If you order at a DMV office and the custom plates are not available
immediately, the DMV will mail the custom plates to you at the address listed on your
current registration.
