Frequently Asked Questions

• When can I purchase my new National Guard license plate?
  You may order your new plate online at azmvdnow.gov starting April 3rd, 2025.

• Who can purchase the new National Guard license plate? 
  This license plate is available for purchase to all Arizona registered vehicles. You are not required to be a current or former Guardsmen to purchase a plate. 

• What is AZ MVD Now? 
  AZ MVD Now is the Motor Vehicle Division's new online platform. It's fast, easy, secure and personalized for you. Once you set up your account and/or log in, you will see your information and your personalized home page. From there, you may easily order your new license plate.

• How much does the new National Guard license plate cost?
  If you are buying a National Guard license plate for the first time the cost is $25 for a non-personalized National Guard plate and $50 for a personalized National Guard plate (six character limit for a standard size and four character limit for a motorcycle size plate). A postage fee will apply. 

• What if I already have a National Guard plate and I want to get the new design?
  Those with a current National Guard plate can apply for a plate replacement online at azmvdnow.gov or by visiting an MVD or Authorized Third Party office. A $5 replacement fee and postage fee will apply. When ordering online, be sure to select "damaged" as the reason for replacement; this will avoid a new plate number/format from being issued. 

• What if I currently have a National Guard plate, do I have to apply for the new design? 
  Changing your plate design is not required. Both versions of the plate will be valid for use. 

• What if my current license plate is personalized and I want to order the new National Guard plate?
  Those with a personalized plate other than the National Guard can apply for the new plate design online at azmvdnow.gov . The maximum number of characters allowed for the standard size National Guard plate is six, five for disability and for the motorcycle plate size is four, three for disability. A $50 annual personalized/specialty plate fee and postage will apply. 

• Who do the proceeds of the plate benefit?
  $17 of the fee goes to support programs and services for the men, women, families, and mission of the Arizona National Guard. 

• Why the long wait?
  We truly appreciate your patience as we worked out the details with ADOT. They worked tirelessly to make sure our plate choice was in compliance with the required standards to be road worthy. We chose not to release the design until testing was complete which delayed our initial release plans. 

• How was the design selected?
  We had a large list of entries! After running the entries through the ADOT design rules, we narrowed down designs for the community to vote on. The top five voted designs would then be reviewed by a panel of Arizona National Guardsmen who discussed each design in length. After a meeting... some follow up emails... and a few more meetings... the panel decided on the winning design to be entered to ADOT and begin the vetting process. To say it was an easy decision would be a lie... we loved all of the entries and are extremely thankful to everyone who submitted their design!
