Show Your Dedication with an Aviation License Plate
What better way to show your dedication to the aviation industry than by having an Aviation License Plate? Aviation license plates are available through the Washington State Department of Licensing (DOL) online, or by visiting your local vehicle licensing office
The cost is $40 for the actual plate, plus any annual tab fees and other specialty license plate production fees, and $30 for renewals.
Support Aviation
For each plate purchased, $28 will go to supporting aviation-specific initiatives, including:
Airport infrastructure improvements to support statewide disaster response and recovery operations (examples: wildland fires, earthquakes, and landslides).
Economic development opportunities to enhance public access to airports, such as informational kiosks.
Statewide aviation infrastructure-related awareness programs that promote public participation at airports.
If you’ve already renewed your tabs you should be able to transfer your registration to the new plate and be charged only for the special plate and processing costs (approximately $73).
Unfortunately, you can’t purchase an aviation plate for someone else (unless you and the recipient are both registered owners of the vehicle), but for an additional fee, you can use up to seven characters for a personalized plate. Visit DOL's website to learn more about personalized plates and to see which character combinations are available.
Personalization fees go toward the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife conservation programs.
