Duck License Plate

The new Oregon Ducks license plate is available through the Oregon DMV, either by mail or at DMV locations. The surcharge from each plate provides support to student scholarships and alumni association programs & services worldwide.

If you purchased a voucher in our campaign to secure the plates, thank you! When you get your plates you will submit your prepaid voucher to the DMV in place of the first plate surcharge fee. 

Here's how to get your plates:

The new Ducks license plate is now available through Oregon DMV, either by mail or at DMV locations.

• If you are more than four months (120 days) out from your current sticker expiration date, you can order your plates online at oregondmv.com, as well as through a DMV location. See the form online. Mail that completed form with your replacement fee to DMV. Your new plates will come with replacement stickers.
• If you are within four months (120 days) of your sticker expiration date, you must order the plates at a DMV location, and you will also pay the regular registration renewal fees.
• If you are buying a new or used vehicle from a licensed dealer, you may order Duck plates as part of the car buying process.
• Custom/vanity plates are available with the Duck plate; you can transfer your current custom plate number to the Duck plate or apply for a new custom plate.
• In all the above cases, you’ll either need to pay the $40 surcharge (which benefits students and the UOAA) or redeem your voucher.
