Pet Friendly License Plates
 

State of Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration (MVA) - The Maryland "Spay and Neuter" license plate costs $50, of which $25 is tax deductible for the buyer. A plate can be obtained by mailing a $25 check to the any Maryland Shelter registered with the Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration. The organization will then return a signed application to you, which you then be present to a local office of the Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration with the remaining $25 of the $50 fee. MVA will send the ordered license plate by mail. The cost is $25 for each following year. It is suggested that you contact your local Humane Society or Shelter to check if they are a registered participant in the program, and to confirm details before mailing in your check.

State of Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles (VA DMV) - Revenue Sharing: As a revenue sharing plate $15.00 of the $25.00 fee is transferred to the locality in which the vehicle is registered after sale of the first 1,000 plates.
