Americans like to customize many things, including their license plates. Each U.S. state has its own special license plate design. When people go on long road trips, they often try to spot plates from different states. But for many, this is not enough. They want even more ways to personalize their plates.

Most states offer specialty plates for an initial fee and a yearly renewal. Some of this money goes to the state government, but a large part is donated to important causes. For example, you can choose a plate to support veterans, help raise awareness about autism, or support a favorite sports team.

After choosing a special background, you can also customize the letters and numbers on your plate. You can usually use six characters in total, such as three letters and three numbers. For example, a fan of the Chicago Bulls basketball team might choose the plate โGOBULZโ to show their support.

People use these plates to express their interests and personality. It is a way to share something about themselves with other drivers and neighbors. However, you cannot put anything you want on a license plate. Most states do not allow rude or offensive language. Also, every license plate must be unique. No two people can have the same one.
