Personalized Tags
Jefferson County Revenue Department

Personalized tags may be ordered for most private passenger and commercial vehicles, and some motorcycle, bus, camper or antique vehicles. The combination of letters/numbers requested must not conflict with the regular number system and is subject to State of Alabama Revenue Department approval. A maximum of five to seven characters, depending on tag type and format, will be allowed.


Fees - The fee for personalizing your tag is $50.00. This fee is added to your standard issuance fee and ad valorem assessments. If a personalized tag is stolen or lost, you can apply for a replacement tag and decals at a cost of $2.25.


State Inquiry – You may now access the State Personalized tag reservation system and order your plate directly. You will still need to visit one of the six (6) Jefferson County license offices to complete the transaction. Go to https://www.alabamainteractive.org/dorpt/UserHome.str to order.

How do I get a personalized car or truck tag?
Go to the State Department of Revenue sponsored site at https://www.alabamainteractive.org/dorpt/UserHome.str; Or, ask for an application at a Jefferson County Revenue Department location or print the form from this website. Complete the application listing four choices in order of preference. Bring the application to one of the Jefferson County Revenue Department locations listed below. A county employee will communicate with the Alabama Personalized Tag Division to request the selected combination of letters/numbers.

If the request is approved by the Alabama Personalized Tag Division, you will need to pay the required fees. You will receive a registration receipt and a 60-day temporary tag (no charge for the temporary tag).

The Alabama Personalized Tag Division will order the license plate manufactured and will ship directly to you.

Can you call and reserve my choice until I can bring in my payment?
No, not at the License office. Your request will not be reserved until the $50.00 personalization fee is paid. You may reserve a plate with a personal message by going to https://www.alabamainteractive.org/dorpt/UserHome.str.

How long will it take for me to receive my personalized tag?
Your tag will arrive in the mail normally in four to six weeks.
