The Office of Motor Vehicles has released the 4-H license plate approved in 2002. The fee for the 4-H plate is $50 every two years ($25 per year) in addition to regular registration fees. Of the additional $25 fee, $15 will go to the Louisiana 4-H Foundation and $10 to the 4-H foundation in the parish where the plate was sold.
The following guidelines and procedures should be followed when applying for the new 4-H license plate:
- Submit a photocopy of your vehicle registration certificate, proof of insurance and a brief note stating you are applying for the 4-H license plate and the number you are requesting (if available).
- Fees: Contact the SPECIAL & DEALER PLATE UNIT of the Office of Motor Vehicles at 225-925-6371 or 877-368-5463 with your current license plate number, and they will calculate your fees.

Automobiles, trucks and motor homes are issued two-year validation stickers.
