Driving Fore the Game

Alabama’s Only Golf License Plate
The AGA is proud to have launched Alabama’s first-ever and only golf-themed license plate. Now, Alabamians will have the option to drive off the path and support the Alabama Golf Foundation by Driving Fore the Game! 


For each plate issued, the Alabama Golf Association receives $41.25 to directly support our junior golf initiatives, including but not limited to Youth on Course and starting a male scholarship program to mirror the women's scholarship program. 

You can get the tag any time, regardless of your renewal month--and you can have it personalized at no extra cost. 

Here's how to get the tag: Visit your local vehicle licensing office in person (find your county's location here), and ask the clerk for the Alabama Golf Association specialty license plate. You can do this during your renewal month or at any time. Afterwards, yearly renewal will happen automatically. 

If you want a personalized tag, reserve it online at the Alabama Department of Revenue Plate Reservation and Ordering System (PROS) website here before going to the licensing office. It's free, but you have to register the personalization ahead of time. 

Did you pre-commit to purchase the Alabama Golf Association license plate? Special thanks to those who pre-committed the tag during our initial campaign! The state has emailed you a voucher with instructions. The Alabama Golf Association license plate is available now, and you can redeem your voucher during your renewal month or any time. If you misplaced your voucher, call 334-242-9000 to have it re-sent to you.

How much is an Alabama Golf Association license plate?

The annual cost is $50 annually + a $5 admin fee. The admin fee is deducted from the $50 the registrants pay. The net proceeds of the $5 shall be distributed to the Department of Revenue, while the net proceeds of the $41.25 directly support the Alabama Golf Foundation. There is a $5 metal plate fee that is due whenever a registrant first registers a vehicle or if it is time for the registrant to receive a new plate after their existing plate has been in use for 5 years. This $5 fee is not special for a distinctive plate, as it is required for all registrations. 

Allocation of funds:

• $1.25 retained by licensing official
• $1.50 for production and manufacturing costs
• $1.00 for Admin fee, retained by Revenue
• $5.00 for Department of Senior Services

When is the best time to purchase an Alabama Golf Association license plate?

Most people obtain one when it is time to renew their current license plate, but you don’t have to wait! You can purchase an AGA license plate all year round.

 

In what months are license plates renewed?

Alabama registers vehicles under a staggered registration system, January through November, based on the first letter of the owner’s last name.  Motor vehicle registrations expire on the last day of the designated renewal month.  For example, someone whose last name begins with the letter F, G, or N is required to register his/her vehicle in the month of April, and the previous registration expires on April 30. Leased, commercial and fleet vehicles are subject to renewal in the months of October and November and the registrations for these types of vehicles expire on November 30. Vehicles registered pursuant to the International Registration Plan (IRP) are assigned renewal registration months by the Department.

 

Where do I get the license plate?

License plates may be purchased through the all local vehicle licensing offices across Alabama. To view yours, visit: https://revenue.alabama.gov/motor-vehicle/vehicle-licensing-offices/ 

 

Can I personalize the license plate?

Yes, you can personalize your AGA license plate at no additional cost. Six is the maximum number of letters or numbers for a personalized tag. Personalized messages must be approved by the Department of Revenue. You can reserve a personalized tag online. The personalized license plate reservation will be held for five business days. Reservations must be redeemed at the licensing official's office within this time, or the reservation will be forfeited.

 

What is the money used for?

The AGA is committed to growing the game, hosting exciting events and offering a competitive landscape that grows the golfer of any age. All funds received will go to directly support our junior golf initiatives including but not limited to Youth on Course and starting a male scholarship program to mirror the women’s scholarship program. Impact happens on and off the course. 100% of your donation will be applied towards the Alabama Golf Foundation’s efforts to support amateur golf across the state.
