Specific numbered or personalized plates are not available for the presale of 1,000 plates. You will have that option on the next renewal of your specialty plate.  

What happens if my current plate registration expires before my new plate arrives?

Follow your normal renewal process. The Tennessee Department of Revenue will mail letters to let customers know when their assigned plates will be in their local county clerk’s office.  When you pick up your plate, you will receive a credit for the remaining days of your term unless your tags are due to expire within 30 days. Your new tags will expire 1 year from the date you are issued your specialty license plate.

You may purchase the plate at your local county clerk’s office at your renewal once they have been produced.

Is shipping included in the $37 fee?

There is no additional shipping fee. The Tennessee Department of Revenue will mail letters to let customers know when their assigned plates will be available to pick up at their local county clerk’s office.

What happens to my existing license plate?

Once your Opry license plate is delivered, your existing license plate will no longer be registered to a vehicle, and you can keep it. Keep using your current plate until you receive your new plate from the state of TN. 

Is there a limit to the number of plates I can order?

The specialty plate is available for vehicles registered in Tennessee, excluding commercial vehicles. If you own more than one vehicle, you may want to order this specialty plate for each vehicle.

If I have more than one car, do I need to fill out the form separately for each plate I want to purchase?

Yes. If multiple drivers in your household will be ordering a plate, you will fill out the form once for each driver. The “Your Information” section should include the name and contact information for the vehicle registrant. For example, if you are purchasing 3 plates for 3 separate family members, but the title of all 3 vehicles is under the same name, you will fill out the form 3 times with the same information.

Is this the final design of the plate?

Yes, this is plate design. 

I live outside of Tennessee, may I still preorder a plate?

You must be a resident of Tennessee to purchase an Opry specialty license plate.
