UVU Custom License Plates

UVU License Plates Show Spirit & Support

When you get Utah Valley University license plates, not only are you showing your Wolverine spirit, but you’re also giving to scholarships that help current students. This is an affordable and stylish way to give back to the university. A UVU license plate is only *$25 a year, which is a little more than $2 a month! All proceeds go to scholarships.

Because the UVU option is a Utah custom license plate, they are only available for vehicles registered in Utah. However, they are available to any Utah-based Wolverine fan, including community members, businesses, alumni, and students.  

What Your UVU License Plate Will Look Like

The design is the Wolverine head logo next to a new set of alphanumeric characters. If you opt into getting one for a vehicle you currently own, you will keep your existing expiration and renewal dates.

Note: An annual tax-deductible $25 donation will be included when you renew your car registration.

Already Have One?

If you already have a Utah Valley University license plate, THANK YOU! Your contribution has helped us raise thousands for scholarships, benefiting many students.
