Utah License Plates

In January 2025, several reporters observed this passenger series had reset to the beginning of A. This is because old numbers that had been dormant for several years are being re-used. This change appears to have coincided with the JR Wald plates going flat.

Ken Reager spotted the 6th plate of the original run of this series, A00 6AA.

In January 2025, several reporters observed that this passenger series had reset back to Z. This is because old numbers that had been dormant for several years are being re-used. This change appears to have coincided with JR Wald Arch plates going flat.

Each leading letter goes backwards, same as the original Arch plates, but the progression within the series is forward. Therefore, the first plate of the series was Z00 1AA, working forward to Z99 9ZZ, then the Y series followed starting at Y00 1AA, working forward to the current high. Low: Z82-2AA.

JR Wald print-to-emboss was first observed on personalized plates in Oct. 2022. In this Arch series, it most likely began a few months later at T00 1HA (observed low T00 8HA) with the old font ending at high T99 9GZ.

This base was issued with some old dormant D000A format numbers on the flat JR Wald plates in 2025. The D000A series had been previously issued to generic specialty plates in 2012-13.

This was originally just another specialty plate on the generic base, with graphics and slogan applied with decals.

Starting in January 2017 this became a no-fee option, with the design printed on the plate and with its own alphanumeric series. The no-fee series began with Z001A, ran up to Z999Z, and then rolled over to Y001A, and so on, with the first alpha progressing backwards. Of course, this could only go on so long before it threatened to collide with the generic specialty series, which was advancing up through the alphabet in the same format. Catastrophe was narrowly averted in April 2018 when, upon reaching N999Z, rather than going to M001A, this series rolled over to a brand-new 0A0AA format. That format was exhausted (presumably at 9Z9ZZ) in August 2023, and the current 0AAA0 format debuted.

Utah 2007 ski base Apportioned Trailer license plates feature A prefix with upper half of six-digit series and "Greatest Snow On Earth" slogan screened along bottom, confirmed as high as A534349 c2018. Current issuance appears doubtful; does anyone have a clear photo of this plate with bottom APPORTIONED caption?

Originally screened "Life Elevated" along plate bottom with "APPORTIONED" indicated on top left sticker. Current issuance appears doubtful; does anyone have a clear photo of this plate with bottom APPORTIONED caption?

Utah 2007 ski base Apportioned Vehicle license plates feature A prefix with lower half of six-digit series and initially the "Greatest Snow On Earth" bottom slogan. The "APPORTIONED" word mark replaced earth slogan by A036165 in 2019. Renewal date stickers dropped from APP plates in 2019 as well.

This plate was originally screened with "Life Elevated" along bottom and the key word "APPORTIONED" indicated on top left sticker, high Z068116.

Renewal date sticker dropped and screened slogan replaced with "APPORTIONED" along plate bottom in 2019-20, low Z084756.

UDOT Incident Management trucks use these supplementary plates, which identify the vehicle's radio callsign, in addition to Exempt (E/X) plates.

The "decal" specials (antique, military, pets, wildlife, universities) share the same formats on this generic plate, so there is only one high for them. The finished plates have a logo at the left and a slogan at the bottom.

Handicapped and In God We Trust were originally part of this series, but both have since moved off to their own formats and series (shown elsewhere on this page).

In January 2025, several reporters observed this series had reverted to the old A123B format. This is because old numbers that had been dormant for several years are being re-used. This change appears to have coincided with the JR Wald plates going flat. In April 2025, the 0000A format was also observed.

New Font Low: 05FD0

Old Font High: 63FB3

This series first appeared on the DMV website in December 2022. At that time these plates were limited to vehicles model year 1980 or older, primarily a collector’s item, and used for participation in club activities, exhibitions, tours, parades and occasional transportation but not for general daily transportation. By spring 2023, that limitation had been removed and these plates became available to all vehicles as a fundraiser for the Utah State Historical Society. Vehicles 1983-up registered in the Vintage category may not use these plates.

This is both high and low since only one Medal of Honor plate has ever been issued in Utah. The recipient was George Wahlen.

This white ski plate was issued between 1986-2016; 999 PMV was likely the last plate of the series.

Utah stopped using county stickers in May 2002. They still appeared on the LXx series ski plates, but not the LZx series. Screened plate designation for "CY" sticker location was dropped from ski plates between MGN and MMY.

This original arch centennial design debuted in 1992 starting at ZAA. Each leading letter progressed backwards; after XZZ came WAA, then VAA and finally UAA.

Utah stopped using county stickers in May 2002. On this arch plate the XXx series had county stickers, but none of the subsequent Wxx series had them.
