Frequently Asked Questions

After I have prepaid for a special tag and I trade vehicles,can I put that tag on my new vehicle?

Yes. The county will allow you to transfer a specialty plate to another vehicle.

Once the license plates are available, how much time will I have before I must go to the county office and get them?

The vehicle owner has up to 60 days to pick up their plate after the DOR has informed the organization that the license plates are available in the county office. If the vehicle owner waits beyond the 60 days, they are required to pay the special fees again.

How much money does the organization receive from the sale of the tags?

As established by senate bill 2288 in the 2020 legislative session, the speciality tag costs $30, of which $20 will be deposited into the Mississippi State Park fund.

When will the organization receive the proceeds from the sale of its specialty license plate?

Disbursements from the sale of license plates are made around the 15th of each month.

Will I be able to keep the specialty license tag if I decide I would like to have another specialty tag registered to my vehicle?

State law requires the vehicle owner who no longer desires to have the specialty plate registered to a vehicle to surrender the plate at the county tax collector’s office.

Can an individual have more than one specialty license plate?

Yes, unless there is a stipulation in the statute on the number of license plates to be issued per person.

Will vehicle owners be required to turn in the license plate currently on their vehicle in order to pick up the new plate?

Yes, the vehicle owner is required to bring in the old license plate in order to receive the new specialty plate.

What if a vehicle owner purchased one of the license plates while living in one county but has since moved to another county? How will he or she be able to register their license plate in their new county?

The vehicle owner should either go into the new county office and have the clerk call the other county office to forward the license plate, or, they may contact the DOR to have the county forward the tag to the correct county office.

What happens if a vehicle owner changes his or her mind and is no longer interested in having the specialty license plate?

Since that particular vehicle owner may have been one of the 300 persons on the list of presold tags, it is the responsibility of the organization to work out something with the vehicle owner in order for your list not to drop below 300. The organization is not complying with the law if it falls below 300 presold tags.
