IF PERSONALIZING YOUR REGISTRATION PLATE
Personalized Emergency Vehicle registration plates may contain up to FIVE letters and numbers in combination. NOTE: A preprinted letter
configuration of “EV” will precede your personalized configuration on your registration plate and cannot be changed.
If a hyphen or space is used as part of the registration configuration, it counts as one of the available spaces for personalization. Only one
hyphen or space is permitted, but not both. NOTE: No additional special characters are available.
When requesting a numeric character of zero, please list as "Ø" instead of the alpha character of "O".
PennDOT reserves the right to limit or reject certain requests.
The fee to personalize your registration plate is an additional $100, and the registration on your vehicle must be current in order for
PennDOT to process your request. The additional $100 fee covers the cost of your personalized registration plate order only and will
not renew your vehicle's registration. If your registration has expired or expires in the next three months, please include your completed
renewal application Form MV-105, "Pennsylvania Registration Renewal Application," or Form MV-140, “Request for Registration,” and a
separate check or money order in the amount of your registration renewal fee. Payment is to be made by check or money order payable
to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. PLEASE DO NOT SEND CASH.
To check personalized registration plate availability, visit PennDOT’s Driver and Vehicle Services website, , and select Plate
Availability from the list of services under the Online Services heading. Personalized registration plates will not be reserved until PennDOT
receives payment and a completed application, and approves your requested registration plate configuration [number(s) and/or letter(s)].
Please note that registration plate requests are processed on a first-come, first-served basis. Although a requested registration plate
configuration may show as being available on the website, it is possible that a request for the same registration plate configuration may
have already been submitted by another customer and may not be available when making application.
Personalized Emergency Vehicle registration plates will be manufactured on the basis of this application. NO REFUND of the fee will be
issued when an applicant cancels a request after the order is placed with the manufacturer.
