What Do Arizona License Plates Look Like?


Arizona license plates come in various colors, shapes, and sizes. The state has an official plate design but also allows specialty designs.

The standard Arizona license plate has been unchanged since 1983 and consists of a blue background with yellow lettering. The top of the plate reads “Grand Canyon State,” while the bottom reads “Arizona.” The center line is solid white and contains the state seal in yellow with blue outlines. To the seal’s right is a seven-character alphanumeric serial number in yellow letters on a black background. Each county has a different prefix for its county’s plates. For example, Maricopa County’s plates begin with “52”.

In addition to the standard license plate, Arizona offers various specialty plates which can be customized to feature logos or images from universities or organizations such as military branches, veterans’ groups, law enforcement organizations, rescue organizations, and more. These specialty plates often have unique backgrounds that differ from standard Arizona plates.
