Do You Live in North Carolina and Drive a Car?

Get Your Kids First License Plate Today!

The next time you renew your license plate, consider applying for a whole new tag—a “Kids First” license tag. Ordering the Kids First license plate offers you a visible way to show your support of North Carolina’s children. The license plate can be ordered at any time or when you renew your automobile license plate. This specialized license plate was developed to benefit the North Carolina Children’s Trust Fund. Fifteen dollars of the $25 fee goes directly to the Children’s Trust Fund.

These funds are used to provide grants to programs relating to child abuse prevention activities. Numerous child advocacy efforts, statewide and local nonprofit organizations, and direct-service agencies depend on these funds to help stop child abuse and neglect. The $25 fee is an annual fee due in addition to the regular license fee. To order, call the NC Dept. of Motor Vehicles Specialized License Plates Division at 919/861-3575. Order forms are also available at local DMV offices and online at http://www.dmv.dot.state.nc.us.
