Redesigned NC Tennis Foundation License Plate has arrived!

Are you licensed to PLAY TENNIS in North Carolina?

The NC Tennis Foundation redesigned specialty & personalized license plate is NOW available. Purchase online or in-person at your local NCDMV Office!



When to order online?

  • If you do not own a NC Tennis Foundation specialty license plate, you can order online HERE.


  • Please note: the NC Tennis Foundation license plate image reflected from the NCDMV website is the original image, NOT the redesigned image - the NCDMV specialty plate website will be updated soon with the new design image. You will receive the new, redesigned NC Tennis Foundation specialty plate if you order online! Expect your plate to arrive in the mail within 1-2 weeks.


When to go in-person to your NCDMV Agency?


  • If you own the original NC Tennis Foundation specialty or personalized license plate you can only order the redesigned plate, in-person, at a NC Division of Motor Vehicles (NCDMV) license plate agency. To avoid unnecessary fees and documentation, update to the new plate during your vehicle's annual 60 day registration period.


You LOVE your original NC Tennis Foundation license plate and do not want to update to the redesigned NC Tennis Foundation plate?


  • Do absolutely NOTHING! Although, in the event your original plate is ever damaged, the only NC Tennis Foundation plate design option will be the new plate design.


  • Whether you update to the new plate design or keep the original plate design, the NC Tennis Foundation thanks you for your annual donation to enhance the lives of people through tennis and education! At this time, the annual fee for the NC Tennis Foundation specialty plate is $20, with $10 donated to the NC Tennis Foundation.


  • If you have a Personalized Specialty Plate there has always been and will continue to be an additional annual $30 fee for this plate type.

Make it "crystal" clear - on the court, as well as "on the road," that tennis is the "Sport of a Lifetime," you LOVE to "PLAY TENNIS," and you support the NC Tennis Foundation's goal to make tennis accessible to everyone!
