License Plates
A variety of license plates are available to New Mexico drivers. Along with the 'standard' license plates, drivers can select 'specialty' plates. Some specialty plates have a small fee upon application and registration renewal, while others are available with no additional fees.
Not listed are government, state agency, elected officials or commercial vehicle plates, or those plates that are unique to specific vehicle types, such as manufactured homes, recreational vehicles (RVs) or trailers.
