In 2019, UTHSC kicked off a campaign for a specialty license plate, and in early 2021, enough plates had been preordered for the state to approve our custom green and orange license plate for production.

Today, it is one of 45 collegiate license plates available through County Clerk offices across Tennessee.

Keeping the license plate in production takes a commitment from supporters of UTHSC to purchase it. The Tennessee Department of Revenue requires at least 800 plates purchased each year to continue production. For FY22-23, there were only 369 active plates. The UTHSC license plate will be taken off production at the end of this fiscal year, if the 800 minimum is not met.

You can help by purchasing a UTHSC license plate!

The specialty license plate costs $61.50 ($35 more than a standard plate), plus any additional county fees. A portion of the money generated from the sale of the specialty license plate supports educational outreach at UTHSC.

The initial purchase of a specialty license plate must be made at a County Clerk’s office.
