NYS DMV - Custom Plates - Organizations

Eligible Vehicles: All vehicles that are registered in NYS as a passenger class vehicle or as a commercial class vehicle are eligible. (Note: Commercial plates must display the word "COMMERCIAL".) Certain custom plates are available for Motorcycles that are registered in NYS (refer to the plate gallery).
Eligible Persons: An organization can require you to prove that you are eligible to use the organization picture plates (refer to the plate gallery). Certain organization picture plates must be ordered through the organization or the Custom Plates Unit only.
International Symbol of Access (ISA) : Custom Plates that include the ISA for individuals who qualify are only available through the Custom Plates Unit (CPU). See the form MV-664.1 to learn how to order custom plates that include the ISA, or call the Custom Plates unit at (518) 402-4838.
Sample plates: Sample plates are not available.
How to Order: Custom plates can normally be ordered on-line, but certain picture plates require proof or certification and must be ordered through the Custom Plates Unit or the organization. The DMV web site has more information about the fees and how to order.
Plate Numbers: A custom plate displays a designated or assigned plate number, but you can select a personalized combination for many custom plates for an additional fee. Personalized plate numbers must include at least two, but not more than six, characters and spaces (four characters and spaces for motorcycles or if the ISA is requested). You can check on-line for available combinations. (Refer to the Custom Plate Gallery.)
Delivery: Allow 4-6 weeks for delivery of your custom plates. If you changed your address, notify the DMV before you order your custom plates. If you order at a DMV office and the custom plates are not available immediately, the DMV will mail the custom plates to you at the address listed on your current registration.
