Commonly Asked Questions
- Can you put the NCCF plate on all vehicles?
Specialized plates may be purchased for automobiles, trailers and trucks with weight up to 26,000 pounds. Unfortunately, because of plate size, they cannot be purchased for motorcycles. - Can I personalize my plate?
Yes you can, but it is not required. There are four spaces available for personalization. There is an additional $30 charge for personalization. You may request your personalized plate at any time. If you wish to do so with this application, please remit a check for $60 and list your first three choices on the application. - Can I change my mind?
We hope you’ll always want to support the coast, but should you change your mind, you may go back to a regular license plate at any time. - How much does it cost each year?
- $30 for the special NC Coastal Federation plate ($20 goes to NCCF and $10 to state projects, including highway beautification and Visitors Centers support)
- $20 to $25 annual license fee (price varies from county to county)
- $30 for personalization (optional)
- How does purchasing a plate help the Coastal Federation?
The NCCF will receive $20 per plate as a contribution, which will be used for projects that protect and restore North Carolina's coast.
