With the passing of House Bill 530 there will be two significant changes with regards to personalized plates:
  1. Personalized plate expiration date of December 31st, will soon be transitioned to birth month.
  2. The plate replacement option, offered at renewal, will be discontinued.  Specifically, customers will only have the option of a decal.  Personalized license plates shall be replaced on the same schedule as regular issue license plates unless it is damaged or unreadable.

Effective Tuesday, July 10th, AVIS will no longer offer the option of a personalized plate replacement; decal will be the default. 

Also, records that currently notate a replacement plate, will be changed to the decal option.

This change will help in facilitating the expiration date transition later this year and into 2019.  Please remember, the $25 annual personalized plate fee is assessed for the privilege of using the plate, not a fee to have the plate re-made every year.  Also, by receiving a decal, customers will now have the option of renewing their plate on-line.

Additional communications regarding the personalized plate expiration date transition will be forthcoming.

Thank you, Ainsley
