Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about designing and ordering your custom vanity plate.
Our plates are novelty/decorative plates — they are not street-legal DMV-issued license plates. They're made to look exactly like a real state plate, but they're for display, collectors, shows, garages, man caves, gifts, and personal expression — not for driving on public roads as your registered plate.
Think of them like a premium collector's item or a very accurate display piece. Many customers hang them in their garage, on a wall, or mount them on the front of their vehicle as a decorative accent (front plate display is legal in most states).
Standard license plate size: 6 inches × 12 inches. Printed on high-quality material with vibrant, durable ink — designed by TAGSCO technology to look sharp on display or in photos.
The physical product is produced by Zazzle, one of the leading print-on-demand platforms in the US, which means consistent quality and fast domestic fulfillment.
Yes! The TAGSCO customizer supports emoji right in your vanity tag. Use the emoji picker in the customizer to add hearts, stars, flames, paw prints, your state's icon, or whatever fits your personality. Emoji render correctly in the live preview and on the final product.
Your custom plate design can go on:
- License plates (6″×12″ display)
- Caps & hats
- T-shirts
- Stickers (die-cut and sheet)
- Bags & totes
- Keychains
- Lanyards
