Specialty License Plates
Apply for specialty plates and exchange your current plates for the new set.
How we help
Specialty plate applications are processed alongside your registration. We confirm eligibility, prepare the application and handle the plate exchange.
We prepare and review the paperwork before it is submitted, so a missed signature or an incorrect assignment does not send you back to the counter. Bring the documents below to our West Babylon office — or call first if you are unsure whether something applies to your transaction.
Documents you may need
Requirements can vary by transaction. We confirm the exact list when you contact us.
- Photo identification
- Current registration
- Specialty plate application
- Current plates, when exchanging
What to expect
Submit a request or call and we will confirm what applies to your vehicle, explain any government fees, and tell you when to come in. Processing times are set by the DMV and vary by transaction, so we never promise same-day completion.
Long Island Express Tags is an independent DMV service business, licensed by the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles (NYS DMV). We are not a government agency or an official DMV office, and our service fees are separate from applicable government DMV fees.
