Arizona personalized & vanity plates
What Arizona lets you spell on a plate, and how to check availability yourself.
Plate Gator can't check Arizona availability automatically
Arizona retired its public plate-availability tool; checking now requires an AZ MVD Now account login.
So the only way to know for sure is to ask Arizona directly — the preview above still works, but Plate Gator will not run a live check for Arizona.
