    Purchasing a “Support the Arts” tag shows commitment and support to the arts and artists of Alabama and may be purchased at any license plate location throughout the state of Alabama.

    IT’S AS EASY AS 1, 2, 3
    1. Take your current licence plate or tag registration renewal form in to your local county probate office.
    2. Tell the probate clerk that you want the “Support the Arts” license plate tag.
    3. Pay your regular tag registration, plus an additional $50 (which is a tax deductible charitable contribution).
