Green Bay Packers license plates 

Applications | Plate fees | Vehicle that qualify | Questions

The gold plate features the Green Bay Packers' registered trademark, a white G in a green oval, on the left side of the plate, with Wisconsin at the top and Green Bay Packers at the bottom, both in green. The plate numbers and letters are black. All non-personalized plates will have the letter G as a suffix.

Plate fees help maintain Lambeau Field

The Packer plate fees include an issuance fee of $15, plus an annual $25 tax-deductible contribution, in addition to the regular registration fee. The contribution goes toward maintenance and operating costs at Lambeau Field.
