INSTRUCTIONS FOR APPLICATION
Please Read Thoroughly
Sections A, B, D, F, and P must be completed if applying for any category of special plates.
NEW PERSONALIZED PLATES
Personalized plates are special plates issued to the owner of a motor vehicle for use only on that vehicle. Plates must have at least one letter but not more than
seven characters total (a character is an upper-case letter, space, hyphen, or number.); a personalized plate may not display all numbers. Motorcycle, Motorized
Bicycle (Moped), pickup trucks registered by gross weight, and recreational vehicle plates are limited to six characters. A vertical Motorcycle plate is limited to 4
characters and may not utilize a hyphen. One space or hyphen may be placed between adjoining characters (will be counted as a character, a space cannot be
the first character). A personalized plate that offends public morals or decency may not be issued. Personalized plates cannot duplicate other existing plates or
any plates in a numbering system used or reserved by the Driver and Vehicle Services Division.
The characters 1 (one) and I (the letter "I") and Ø (naval zero), 0 (zero) and O (oh) are deemed to be the same and may not be
duplicated to create new combinations (e.g. “TIM and “T1M” are the same).
When you transfer (sell) a motor vehicle, you may leave the plates on the transferred (sold) vehicle. You will lose the rights to those plates and the buyer of that
motor vehicle will assume the rights. Please submit a statement that the plates are to remain with the vehicle.
You may transfer the personalized plates to another motor vehicle registered in your name. You must complete another personalized plate application showing
the description of the vehicle on which the personalized plates will be displayed. It is your responsibility to obtain regular plates for the motor vehicle on which the
personalized plates were used.
If you are transferring the plates to a different class vehicle, (e.g., transfer from passenger class to gross weight class) new plates are required and must fit the
number of characters allowed for that new plate type.
TRANSFER OF PERSONALIZED PLATES
If you wish to retain the privilege of your combination you must keep current registration on the vehicle that the plates are displayed on as stated in M.S.168.12,
subd. 2a. If you fail to maintain registration, you may lose your rights to that combination.
If you do not have another vehicle to place your personalized plates on, you may submit a letter requesting an extension (not to exceed one year) of your rights to
that combination or you may lose your rights to that combination. All correspondence must be submitted to the Division at the address listed on the front of this
form.
RETENTION OF YOUR PERSONALIZED PLATES (Minnesota Rules section 7403.0950)
*OTHER Special Plates
This line in Section A exists to accommodate any special plate that is not represented on the form but has been authorized.
If the vehicle on which the special plates are now being used is sold, complete this application if you wish to transfer the special plates to another vehicle. It is
your responsibility to obtain regular plates for the vehicle on which the special plates were used. If the expiration month and year on your special plates do not
