The U.S. state of Utah first required its residents to register their motor vehicles in 1909. Registrants provided their own license plates for display until 1915, when the state began to issue plates.[1]

As of 2025[update], plates are issued by the Utah State Tax Commission through its Division of Motor Vehicles. Only rear plates are required for most classes of vehicles, including motorcycles and trailers. The front plate requirement was lifted for passenger vehicles on January 1, 2025.[2] Month and year decals have now been consolidated into one sticker instead of two separate decals. New license plates will now be flat-screen printed instead of being embossed.

## Passenger baseplates

[edit]

### 1915 to 1967

[edit]

In 1956, the United States, Canada, and Mexico came to an agreement with the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators, the Automobile Manufacturers Association and the National Safety Council that standardized the size for license plates for vehicles (except those for motorcycles) at 6 inches (15 cm) in height by 12 inches (30 cm) in width, with standardized mounting holes.[3] The 1954 (dated 1955) issue was the first Utah license plate that complied with these standards.

| 1968–72 | White on black; "UTAH" centered at bottom  | none | AB 1234  | AA 1000 to
KK 9999;
LL 1000 to approximately PR 9999  | Revalidated for 1969, 1970, 1971 and 1972 with stickers. After KK 9999 was issued in 1970, the serial format continued with only the letters L, M, N, P, R, S, T, V and W used.
| 1973  | Black on reflective white; "UTAH 73" at bottom  | none | ABC 123  | AAA 001 to approximately HDH 999  | Three-letter series used a split-alphabet system, with each letter advancing A, B, C, D, E, F, H, J, K (block 1), or L, M, N, P, R, S, T, V, W (block 2). Progression was as follows: all three letters in block 1, then first letter in block 2 and last two letters in block 1, then first two letters in block 2 and last letter in block 1, then all three letters in block 2, and finally first two letters in block 1 and last letter in block 2.

On the 1974–78 variant, two different designs of beehive were used - one rounded, the other pointed.

All variants are still currently revalidated.
| 1973  | As above, but without year ("UTAH" offset to left)  | HDJ 001 to approximately HJB 999
| 1973–74  | As above, but with "UTAH" centered  | HJC 001 to approximately KEE 999
| 1974–78  | As above, but with embossed beehive used as separator in serial  | KEF 001 to KKK 999;
LAA 001 to WKK 999;
LLA 001 to approximately LWK 999
| 1978–81  | As above, but without beehive (similar to 1973–74)  | MLA 001 to WWK 999;
LLL 001 to approximately MVW 999
| 1982–85  | As above, but with "UTAH" screened rather than embossed  | MWL 001 to WWW 999;
AAL 001 to approximately BFP 999
| 1985–90  | Blue on white with skier graphic  | Greatest Snow on Earth  | 123 ABC  | 001 AAA to 999 DWW  | Awarded "Plate of the Year" for best new license plate of 1986 by the Automobile License Plate Collectors Association, the first and, to date, only time Utah has been so honored. Letters G, U, X, Y and Z added to serials in late 1992, beginning with the FPG series.[4]

Certain plates in the 001 LAA - 999 LZZ series have been spotted with the 'W' dies incorrectly stamped.

| 1990–93  | As above, but with narrower serial dies | 001 EAA to approximately 999 GPY
| 1993 – November 18, 2007  | As above, but with darker blue serials  | 001 GPZ to approximately 999 PMV
| 1992–96  | Dark blue on Delicate Arch graphic; "UTAH" in white  | Centennial  | 123 ABC  | 001 ZAA to 999 ZEZ  | Commemorated Utah's 100 years of statehood. Issued concurrently with the 1985 Ski base, first as an extra-fee base and then as a no-cost base from 1997. The first letter in the serial progressed backwards (so 999 ZZZ was followed by 001 YAA, 999 YZZ was followed by 001 XAA, and so on).

Certain plates in the 001 XAA - 999 XZZ series have been spotted with the 'W' dies incorrectly stamped.

| 1996 – November 18, 2007  | As above, but with "UTAH" in blue  | 001 ZFA to approximately 999 UYL
(see right)
| November 19, 2007[5] – May 2023  | Dark blue on skier graphic  | Greatest Snow on Earth / Life Elevated  | A12 3BC  | A00 1AA to G99 9XZ (see right)  | Redesigned Ski base and updated Arch base, issued concurrently. On the Arch base, the first letter in the serial progresses backwards (Z then Y then X etc.). For both types, then the letters in the 5th and 6th positions are issued alphabetically (AA to ZZ). Then the next first letter is started. The letters I, O and Q are not used.[6]

For Life Elevated - Skier plates, certain plates in the B-BW series have been spotted using the 'W' die stamped correctly and incorrectly. All plates issued during the B-NW - D-FW series can be spotted with the 'W' die incorrectly stamped. Both the D-WZ and the F-GW series have been spotted with the 'W' die stamped incorrectly.

For Life Elevated - Arches plates, all plates issued during the Z-YW - X-CW series have been spotted with the 'W' die incorrectly stamped, except for the Y-SW and Y-TW series. The Y-SM, Y-TM, X-DM, and X-MJ series have been spotted with the 'M' die incorrectly stamped. Certain plates in the X-SW series have been spotted with the 'W' die stamped correctly and incorrectly. The X-UW, X-WD and V-BW series have been spotted with the 'W' die incorrectly stamped.

With the updated North Carolina dies introduced in 2023, Ski and Arch plates have been seen reverting back to the old dies in random sequences throughout the G-Yx series and T-Hx series. Approximately G00 1YW-G34 9YW, G00 1YX-G99 9YZ, and T00 1HZ-T84 9HZ were seen using the previous dies.

For 2025, Utah no longer embosses the characters into the plate. All new plates are now flat screen printed. It appears that Utah is re-using retired plate numbers from when they were originally issued from 2007-2024 on both the 2007 skier and arch base. Skier plates are issued in ascending order similar to how they began in 2007, starting again with the A series. Arch plates are issued in ascending order but with the first letter progressing backwards, starting again with the Z series. This is the first time the state has re-issued a previous serial run to our knowledge.

| May 2023 – December 2024  | As above, but with thinner, squarer serial dies (using North Carolina dies)  | G00 1YA to approximately H38 0JH
| January 2025 – Present  | As above, but with flat print  | H00 1JJ to H65 3JJ and A00 1AA to A74 7DY (as of August 9, 2025)
| November 19, 2007[5] – March 2023  | Dark blue on Delicate Arch graphic  | Life Elevated  | A12 3BC  | Z00 1AA to T99 9GZ (see right)
| March 2023 – December 2024  | As above, but with thinner, squarer characters (using North Carolina dies)  | T00 1HA to approximately S99 9BM
| January 2025 – present  | As above, but with flat print  | S00 1BN to S92 9BZ and Z00 1AA to Z73 0HT (as of August 8, 2025)
| January 1, 2017 – April
2018  | Dark blue on white with national flag at left  | In God We Trust / United We Stand  | A123B  | Z001A to N999Z  | First issued in 2013 as a specialty plate; standardized from 2017 onwards.[7] In the A123B serial format, the first letter progressed backwards (so Z999Z was followed by Y001A, Y999Z was followed by X001A, and so on).

In the 1A2BC and 1ABC2 formats, letter combinations begin with the numbers 00 instead of 01 (so 9AAA9 is followed by 0AAB0, 9AAB9 is followed by 0AAC0 and so on).

The #A#FM, #A#GM, and #M#MB series have been spotted with the 'M' die incorrectly stamped. Certain plates in the #U#ZW series have been spotted with the 'W' die stamped correctly and incorrectly.

For 2025, Utah no longer embosses the characters into the plate. All new plates are now flat screen printed. In God We Trust plates are still issued using the 1ABC2 format that began in August 2023, but it appears that Utah is also re-using plates from the A123B format, which is the format that specialty plates used from 2007-2023 and are currently re-using. What determines which alphanumeric series gets printed onto an In God We Trust plate is unknown. The current 1ABC2 format transitioned from embossed to flat plates sometime during the F series. The re-using of the A123B format for In God We Trust appears to have begun around B001A and is ascending up the alphabet similar to what Specialty plates did from 2007-2013. This is the first time the state has re-issued a previous serial run to our knowledge.

April 2018 – June
2023  | 1A2BC  | 0A0AA to approximately 4Z9GL (see right)
| June
2023 – August 2023  | As above, but with thinner, squarer characters (using North Carolina dies)  | Approximately 5Z0GL to 9Z9ZZ
| August 2023 – present  | 1ABC2  | 0AAA0 to approximately 9FEZ9
| January 2025 – present  | As above, but with flat print  | A123B and 1ABC2  | A001P to D094U and 0FFA0 to 7HAN6 (as of August 8, 2025)

| Disabled Person  | 1990s – July 2023  | Plain white base; International Symbol of Access at left  | Greatest Snow on Earth  | 1234A  | 0001A to approximately 4285U  | Drivers who need a disabled person plate have 3 different options for a plate design. They are able to choose from a plain white base, a skier base, or an arches base.

Serial formats 1234A, A123B, & 12AB3 are shared with the optional plates, as all optional plates share the same plain white base.

The B###W - D###W series have been spotted with the 'W' die stamped incorrectly.

For 2025, Utah no longer embosses the characters onto the plate. All plates are now flat screen printed. It appears that Utah is re-using retired plate numbers from when they were originally issued from 2007-2023 using the A123B format. This same format is also being shared with flat printed In God We Trust plates. Specialty plates are issued in ascending order starting again the A series. This is the first time the state has re-issued a previous serial run to our knowledge.

On the Arch base, the first letter in the serial progresses backwards (Z then Y then X etc.). For both types, then the letters in the 2nd and 5th positions are issued alphabetically (AA to ZZ). Then the next first letter is started.

Important to note, the AB12C serial format is exclusive to the Skier and Arch disabled person plates.

For the Disabled Person Life Elevated - Arches plates, the ZA-W series has been spotted with the 'W' die incorrectly stamped. Certain plates in the ZM01A - ZM99Z series have been spotted with the 'M' die stamped correctly and incorrectly.

## Optional plates

[edit]

Utah currently offers over 60 optional license plates.[9] With the exception of the Amateur Radio Operator & Historic Black & White plates, all use the same serial format – originally 1234A (with a high of 4285U), then A123B (A001A to M999Z), and now 12AB3 (00AA1 to 99FB9) alongside the generic disabled plate.

The Utah Motor Vehicle Division (DMV) publishes yearly statistics on vehicle license plates with active registrations.[22]

On Highway Registrations by License Plate Type (2025)  Plate Type  | Amount  | % of Total

|
|

LE Arches  | 1,202,359  | 35.9%
LE Skier  | 893,811  | 26.7%
In God We Trust  | 767,541  | 22.9%
B&W Historical Support  | 192,989  | 5.8%

Centennial  | 60,011  | 1.8%
Other  | 166,658  | 5.0%
State Total  | 3,353,738  | 100 %

## Errors

[edit]

Plates with the bolder dies have been spotted using the 'M' and 'W' dies being stamped incorrectly. In this image,[23] the 'W' die in V62 0BW was stamped with an upside down 'M' die. This has been spotted on a variety of serial sequences throughout the years.
