Maryland Personalized Plate Costs & How to Order

A Maryland personalized plate carries a $50 annual personalization fee on top of your normal registration, plus an initial fee when you first buy the plate. Because the $50 renews every year, treat it as an ongoing cost rather than a one-time purchase.

Maryland allows between 2 and 7 characters depending on your vehicle, and the message can only use letters and numbers — no symbols, diagrams, or slashes. Personalized plates are available for passenger cars, multi-purpose vehicles, motorcycles, trucks of one ton or less, non-freight trailers, historic vehicles, and street rods. The MVA can decline a message that is already issued or that it considers objectionable.
