New America First license plate in Georgia

Starting January 1, 2026, you can buy an America First specialty license plate for a Georgia vehicle. The plate shows an American flag and the words America First. The Department of Revenue can issue it even before 1,000 prepaid applications are received. If 1,000 prepaid orders are not reached by January 1, 2028, the department stops making the plate. Money from plate sales goes to Georgia’s general fund.
