About this plate
ALASKA RUNS TWO STANDARD BASES AT ONCE, AT THE SAME PRICE, AND THAT IS THE MODELLING POINT.
Fee
Alaska DMV: $0 initial, $5 for replacement, $30 if personalized, $0 renewal, the same fee line as the Standard Gold plate, which is why it is modelled as a standard series and not as a specialty programme.

Legal basis and sources

  1. the DMV lists 'Grizzly Bear' under 'Standard or Personalized License Plates' at $0 initial price, alongside 'Standard Gold' https://web.archive.org/web/2025id_/https://dmv.alaska.gov/vehicle-services/license-plates/
  2. the DMV's collector-sample page offers exactly two designs, 'Grizzly Bear' and 'Last Frontier', the agency's own signal that these two are the state's standard pair https://web.archive.org/web/2025id_/https://dmv.alaska.gov/vehicle-services/sample-license-plates/
