Michigan began issuing specialty license plates in April of 2001 to raise money for six state-supported causes.   Against a backdrop of trees, the distinctive black-and-white loon and her chick rest in quiet waters, highlighting the need to protect Michigan's non-game wildlife and habitat.

University and special cause fundraising plates can only be used on non-commercial passenger cars, pickup trucks, vans, and motor homes.  Motorcycles, trailers, and vehicles used commercially are not eligible for these plates.

You can order the specialty license plates by mail, fax, or at any Secretary of State branch office.  The plate will be mailed to you within 14 business days from the date the plate is ordered.

To purchase a plate by mail or fax, complete and print the Wildlife Habitat License Plate Order Form.
