- [Louisiana OMV Policy 21.00, 'Personalized Prestige License Plates' (revised 2025-02-14), authority R.S. 47:462 and 47:463.2 — the complete allowed/not-allowed table quoted above, the seven-character cap and the six-character motorcycle/handicap cap, the reserved prefixes, the shared uniqueness constraint with personalized dealer plates, the eligibility list, and the $25/$250 fee split](https://public.powerdms.com/ladpsc/documents/366665)

## 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.
