Kids’ Plates Program

How to Get a Kids’ Plate License Plate

California children suffer from unintentional injuries that could easily be prevented. Purchasing a “Kids’ Plate” license plate can help keep kids safe by directly funding local injury and child abuse prevention programs. A Kids’​ Plate license plate can have 2– ​6 characters (numbers/letters) including the choice of a symbol (hand, heart, star or plus sign). The symbol may be placed anywhere within the configuration. The funding allocated for childhood unintentional injury prevention goes to support local programs, education, and safety equipment throughout California.
