Is My Plate Available? How to Order Online : To order your personalized Alabama vanity license plate, follow these steps: First, search the Alabama Reservation for Personalized License Plate website to determine if your personalized message is available for issuance. A receipt, 60 day temporary license plate will be issued and month and year decals will be issued.
The personalized license plate will be shipped from the manufacturing facility within 4 to 6 weeks. Only letters, numbers and spaces are acceptable characters for license plate messages. Dashes and all other special characters are not possible. Personalized tag reservations made through the site are only valid for a limited period of time.

If your reservation expires before you have ordered the tag, the tag message will be released, and anyone can get it.

Ad valorem tax is the property tax on the vehicle that is paid each year when purchasing a license plate. In some situations, back ad valorem tax may be due. Ad valorem tax is a property tax and is NOT related to the usage of a vehicle.
If a vehicle is stored and is not driven, that does not affect the amount of ad valorem tax that may be due. Upon the sale, trade, total destruction, permanent removal from Alabama, theft without recovery, or other transfer of a motor vehicle, the owner may apply for a prorated credit for the ad valorem taxes paid for the remainder of the current period for which ad valorem taxes have been paid.
No vehicle taken out of service by the owner is eligible for ad valorem tax credit. Ad valorem tax credit can only be requested in the county in which the license plate was purchased, and a person has up to 12 months from the date of the disposition of a vehicle to apply for ad valorem tax credit. The credit may be used to pay ad valorem taxes on a replacement vehicle or other vehicles acquired by the owner.
If the ad valorem tax credit is not used at the time of application, a refund check for credit will be sent to the owner. Refund checks are normally mailed by the 20 th day of the month after application for ad valorem tax credit has been made.
However, the ad valorem tax credit, at the direction of the owner, can be transferred to a spouse or dependent child only, or the person or corporation that shall have rented or leased the motor vehicle from the owner. Property Tax Ad valorem tax is collected on vehicles in Alabama. Millage rates vary by jurisdictions, and are set by popular vote of the registered voters.
