Welcome!
We are Primary License Plates and have designed an all black North Carolina specialty license plate. The proceeds from the sale of this plate will be pooled as grants to various non-profit organizations around North Carolina. An emphasis will be made for non-profits whose missions emphasizes feeding and housing people.
This license plate will compliment your all black car to finally achieve the look you're going for and will help various organizations around North Carolina.
The proposed plate conforms to the existing rules around special license plates which requires a large white box, so it's not all black like we originally envisioned, but it's still pretty cool.
The DMV requires 500 pre-paid applications before it will consider this plate application. The initial application must be processed as a single submission with one check and submitted by February 15, 2025. To comply with this requirements we are collecting applications and fees using Zeffy.

What are the requirements for personalizing a black license plate?
When applying for a personalized license plate, the prefix or suffix assigned will be the first or last letter(s) on the plate. this leaves only four (4) spaces for a personalized message. the four spaces may be a combination of letters and numbers but cannot be numbers only or conflict with another classification of license plates. For this license plate we are planning on having the prefix be "BL" but we make no guarantees that this will be accepted.
