Tennessee motorists have the opportunity to display their school or civic pride and contribute to various programs of special interest when renewing
their vehicle registration. These plates may be obtained by taking your renewal notice to your local county clerk’s office and paying $35.00 in
addition to the regular registration fees. Collegiate as well as all other specialized license plates display a logo or artwork designed specifically
for each college or organization. The Tennessee Arts Commission, the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency and/or many non-profit organizations
all benefit in part from the sale of Tennessee’s various specialty and cultural plates. Below are a few examples of the plates Tennessee offers.
For more information on available plate types and how their funds are distributed,
