Special Organization Plates
Overview of Special Organization Plates
Michigan offers special organization license plates to members of select nonprofit, fraternal, and public service organizations. These plates serve as a means to display membership and support for these organizations, while also contributing to their causes through the purchase and renewal of the plates.
Eligibility and Application
To be eligible for special organization plates, applicants must be active members of the organization that the plate represents. Application procedures may require proof of membership, along with the standard vehicle registration forms. These plates can be ordered through the Michigan Secretary of State office, either in person or online.
Benefits of Special Organization Plates
Apart from showcasing membership and allegiance to a specific organization, these special plates often contribute financially to the organization. A portion of the purchase and renewal fees is donated back to the organization, aiding in fundraising efforts for their programs and services.
Renewing Special Organization Plates
Special organization plates require annual renewal, just like standard license plates. The renewal process can be completed online, by mail, or in person. It's an opportunity for members to continue their support for their chosen organization through the continued use of the plate.
Available Organizations
The range of organizations that qualify for special plates is broad, encompassing various interests and causes. These include educational institutions, conservation groups, professional associations, and service clubs. The full list of organizations eligible for special plates can be found on the Michigan Secretary of State's website.
