Beyond the Shield Choosing Maryland Specialty License Plates
From Chesapeake Bay designs to Agricultural heritage, your Maryland plates can support a cause while looking great.
SPECIALTY TAGS & TITLES
When you look at traffic on I-270, you will notice that not every vehicle carries the standard Maryland flag shield. The state offers a variety of specialty plates that allow drivers to display their passions or support vital local causes. Choosing a specialty plate is a simple way to customize your vehicle while contributing to the community.
Popular Commemorative Plate Options
The 'Protect the Chesapeake' plate, featuring the iconic blue crab, remains the most popular choice in the state. Additionally, the 'Maryland Agriculture' plate supports education and preservation efforts for our local farming communities. We maintain a stock of these specialty tags so you can upgrade your standard plates without the typical mailing delay.
Historic and Antique Vehicle Rules
For collectors, Maryland offers Historic and Street Rod plates for vehicles over 20 years old. These plates come with specific usage restrictions, meaning the vehicle cannot be used for daily transportation. Understanding these nuances is key to staying compliant while enjoying the reduced registration fees and inspection exemptions these categories offer.
