Alabama’s Only Golf License Plate

Driving Fore the Game

The AGA is proud to have launched Alabama’s first-ever and only golf-themed license plate. Now, Alabamians will have the option to drive off the path and support the Alabama Golf Foundation by Driving Fore the Game!

For each plate issued, the Alabama Golf Association receives $41.25 to directly support our junior golf initiatives, including but not limited to Youth on Course and starting a male scholarship program to mirror the women's scholarship program.

You can get the tag any time, regardless of your renewal month--and you can have it personalized at no extra cost.

Here's how to get the tag: Visit your local vehicle licensing office in person (find your county's location here), and ask the clerk for the Alabama Golf Association specialty license plate. You can do this during your renewal month or at any time. Afterwards, yearly renewal will happen automatically.

If you want a personalized tag, reserve it online at the Alabama Department of Revenue Plate Reservation and Ordering System (PROS) website here before going to the licensing office. It's free, but you have to register the personalization ahead of time.

The net proceeds of the $5 shall be distributed to the Department of Revenue, while the net proceeds of the $41.25 directly support the Alabama Golf Foundation. There is a $5 metal plate fee that is due whenever a registrant first registers a vehicle or if it is time for the registrant to receive a new plate after their existing plate has been in use for 5 years. This $5 fee is not special for a distinctive plate, as it is required for all registrations.

• $1.25 retained by licensing official

Most people obtain one when it is time to renew their current license plate, but you don’t have to wait! You can purchase an AGA license plate all year round.

In what months are license plates renewed?

Alabama registers vehicles under a staggered registration system, January through November, based on the first letter of the owner’s last name. Motor vehicle registrations expire on the last day of the designated renewal month. For example, someone whose last name begins with the letter F, G, or N is required to register his/her vehicle in the month of April, and the previous registration expires on April 30. Leased, commercial and fleet vehicles are subject to renewal in the months of October and November and the registrations for these types of vehicles expire on November 30. Vehicles registered pursuant to the International Registration Plan (IRP) are assigned renewal registration months by the Department.

Where do I get the license plate?

License plates may be purchased through the all local vehicle licensing offices across Alabama. To view yours, visit: https://revenue.alabama.gov/motor-vehicle/vehicle-licensing-offices/
