Vehicle Tags - Process to obtain a personalized Tag
Personalized Tags
DMV provides several convenient ways to obtain personalized vehicle
tags for your vehicle. The registered owner may request the personalized
vehicle tags in person, by mail, or online by following the steps
below and paying the tag request fee.
Step 1: Requesting a Personalized Tag
- Online - Find out instantly
if your desired tag is available. You
will need (1) your DC drivers license number or identification
card number, and (2) credit card number* to pay the applicable fees. You may track your personalized tag request online.
Step 2: Approval/Rejection of your request for personalized
Tags
Upon approval or rejection of your request, the DC DMV will contact
you via US mail or email (if you supply your email address on the
application). If your request is rejected, you will be refunded
the applicable fees.
Step 3: Picking Up a Personalized Tag
If your application
is approved, the DC DMV will contact you by US mail or email
(if you supplied your email address on the application) when
the personalized tag is ready, in approximately 8 weeks. You
may pick up the Tag at DMV's 95 M Street SW service
location.
