Fees are subject to law changes and vary depending on the application or transaction. Information is provided for an estimation of fees only. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Applicable California Vehicle Code <\/em>(CVC) sections (\u00a7) are noted for reference and additional information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Type of Application<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Original<\/strong>\u2014First time issued in owner’s name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Renewal<\/strong>\u2014Fee added to annual vehicle registration renewal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Substitute<\/strong>\u2014Same license plate type replaced with a new configuration (CVC \u00a79265).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Duplicate<\/strong>\u2014Same license plate type and configuration (CVC \u00a79265). If both license plates are lost\/stolen, duplicates will not be issued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reassignment<\/strong>\u2014Transfer of license plates to another vehicle (CVC \u00a75108).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Exchange<\/strong>\u2014Change an existing environmental or special interest license plate type to another. Price is based on the license plate being changed to. EXAMPLE:<\/strong> Yosemite exchanged for a Lake Tahoe License Plate using the same configuration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Retention<\/strong>\u2014Retain a license plate type and configuration, usually for a fee at vehicle registration expiration (CVC \u00a75106(c)).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Special Interest License Plate Fees<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Special interest license plates may be purchased for use on California-registered vehicles. Certain special interest license plates require payment of an annual <\/strong>renewal fee assessed at the same time as the registration renewal (including vehicles not being operated) to retain license plate configuration ownership. Revenue generated from the sale and renewal of these license plates helps fund environmental and special programs.<\/p>\n\n\n
