Ready to Order a Plate?
What You Need
Personalized and specialized plates can only be ordered online for vehicles that are currently titled and registered in North Carolina.
Please note: Supreme Court case law has deemed state-issued license plates as "government speech" and provides the issuing agency with broad discretion in refusing to issue or recall a plate with an indecent word/phrase or meaning. Therefore, such speech is not subject to a First Amendment analysis.
