Personalizing a License Plate


The personalized plate cannot conflict with the State number/letter system nor be offensive. The customer has the option of ordering a "new" plate each year or renewing with a decal only.

Applications for personalized plates must first be approved by the Department of Motor Vehicle Licensing. Visit drive.ky.gov for more information and to request approval for a plate.

Once an approval letter is issued, submit said letter with the $25.00 application fee and the Application for Personalized License Plate (TC96-342) to the clerk's office.
