About 871,000 specialty license plates were ordered or renewed during the 2024 calendar year. And each year, we like to tally up which were the most popular among Arizona drivers.
Here are the 10 most popular specialty license plates in Arizona for calendar year 2024:
- Veteran’s plates
- First Responder
- Arizona Highway
- Arizona Cardinals
- Military Support/Freedom
- Route 66
- Arizona State University
- Arizona Education
- Empower
- University of Arizona
While the top seven spots on the list have remained consistent, the last three spots on the list saw changes over the past few years.
The Empower specialty plate, which supports charitable organizations that serve veterans and military families, was released in October 2023, but has already become popular enough to join the list. And the Supporting Arizona Education specialty plate, which provides scholarships and grants to eligible teachers and students to fund continuing education, moved up one spot on the list in 2024.
Three new specialty plates were made available in 2024:
- Phoenix Rising Football Club, which provides soccer programs to K-12 students whose families have financial challenges.
- Rotary International, which supports the Rotary Clubs of Arizona and its projects.
- Hualapai Tribe, which supports programs related to health, recreation and education in the Hualapai community.
