- About this plate
- The reserved-prefix list is the sort of detail that only ever appears in an operating manual and never in a statute or a brochure: LSP (Louisiana State Police), DPS, OMV, NOLA, HQ, SP, TS and LA are all unavailable to the public, which is a small but real piece of the state's namespace policy. And the $250 single-letter fee is the state pricing what Delaware lets the market price.
- Who can have one
- Policy 21.00: 'Personalized prestige plates may be issued to automobiles, private trucks (up to 16,000 lbs.), vans, and motor homes.' Issued first come, first served.
