I see! I just looked up the designs also. It’s funny how all the instate Alabama schools have good designs but all of the out of state colleges get a plain white plate with a very small logo.


Ok, another tidbit. When applying for an out of state uni plate, there are 2 options. You can either go for the plate design we have (logo on the left, 5 characters) where you have to get 250 pre-paid commitments within a year. If you don't meet your 250 in a year, you have to start all over.

The second option is a logo on the left, 6 characters, and an additional row of text on the bottom. This design requires 1000 pre-paid commits within a year.

We decided to go for option 1 with the 250 prepaid commits. In 4 yrs when we are required to resubmit a new design and by then we should have over 1000 plates, we can then have a new design with a different logo and perhaps "Louisiana State University" or "Geaux Tigers" whatever on the bottom. We'll worry about that when we get there. We're just thrilled to have a plate. :nana: :cheers:

Not all of it. A portion goes to LSU in some capacity. Not for sure on AL but in TX the plate is $30 and like $22 goes to LSU.


No sir. Each state is different. That may be true in Texas, but as I stated above, here in the state of Alabama, out of state university license plates fall under a different set of rules. Here the cost of distinctive plates is $50/yr plus fees. If your distinctive plate is for an organization such as Save the Cahaba River, a percentage of that $50 does go back to your organization. However, if it is an LSU, MS State, Ole Miss, Georgia or FSU plate, all of the $50 goes to the Alabama general fund and none of it goes to the Universities. :banghead: I guess it's the price you pay for having an out of state university plate in Alabama.

I love this! I never understood why some states are so against allowing out of state universities to have a plate. Texas has damn near any college you can think of. It’s crazy.


I agree. I don't see why Louisiana doesn't follow suit. It's a win-win for Alabama because all the revenue from these LSU plates go back into the Alabama's general fund. :cheers:

Can you use special characters and spaces?


Spaces yes, but not sure about special characters.
You have some good ones. It's good that the DMV will let you know quickly on their website whether your personalization is available or not. Personally I would not pick something "mean" on my plate like UAH8R or FBAMA because I wouldn't want already increase the chance of my vehicle being vandalized :lol:

couldn't get STTDB


There's a webpage where you can check what's available and STTDB is "unavailable". So that either means they're not allowing it or someone else in the state already has STTDB on their license plate. :geauxtigers:

However, if Alabama says the ALEA offices are Still Closed, I'm guessing this can't be done by mail?



Most offices are open now at least here in Birmingham. I say most because some may not have the staff to open completely.
Each may also have different social distancing rules in place. It would be best to call your nearest office and inquire. Some will do by mail, email or even over the phone :cool: :geauxtigers:

Unfortunately we only have 5 characters. What would be your choices if you only had 5 characters.

You see the ones I ended up going with, but if I could I would have liked
GEAUX
G3AUX
G34UX
TIGER
TIG3R

All the above had already been taken :wah:

Thanks @BillyGibbons. I was excited that I managed to get those personalizations as we are limited to 5 characters and most of the good ones were all taken already.

Correct. Tiger Bait :nana: :geauxtigers:
