Established non-profit organizations that are registered with the Nevada Secretary of State or government agencies may request a specialty license plate using the application below. Plates may also be requested through the State Legislature. All plates are submitted to the Commission on Special License Plates for approval.
The plate being requested must generate financial support for services to the community relating to public health, education, or general welfare. The plate may not promote, advertise or endorse any specific product, brand name, or service or promote any specific religion, faith or antireligious belief.
 Specialty License Plate Application and Development Process (SP-68 and SP-69)
Specialty License Plate Surety Bond (SP-73)
All sponsoring agencies must post a $5,000 surety bond with the application. Proposed art work may be submitted with the application, but it is not required. Non-profits must meet financial reporting requirements established by the Nevada legislative auditor.
Nevada law prohibits the DMV from issuing more than 25 separate designs of specialty license plates at any one time. New plates are approved by the Commission each year following the Annual
Plate Review.

Once a specialty plate has been approved by the Commission on
Special License Plates and production is allowed under the 25-plate maximum, the sponsoring group meets with the DMV for
guidelines on color, character placement and other plate
requirements.
The group must then submit its formal proposed art
work to the DMV, which may ask for changes based on technical factors.
Once the design is agreed upon, the department will produce prototypes.
The prototypes are submitted to the Nevada
Highway Patrol for field testing for legibility. Upon law enforcement
approval, plates are given final
approval or rejection by the Commission.
Production begins following the final approval. Once a new plate has been distributed to DMV field offices, the
department will mail notification letters to the motorists who signed the plate's petition.
The DMV will also post the plate on its web
site and in display cases in some field offices.
