Alabama introduces a “Mental Health Matters” license plate on April 1, urging conversations and awareness about mental health support statewide.
MONTGOMERY, Ala. — The Alabama Department of Mental Health has announced the Mental Health Matters license plate will be available to order on April 1.
The new distinctive license plate is designed to steer the conversation about mental health, bring together friends and families and support all Alabamians through prevention, treatment and recovery. Featuring a tri-colored heart, the plate carries the message of “Mental Health Matters,” serving as a visual reminder of the importance of mental health in every aspect of our lives.
Alabama’s Mental Health Matters license plate will raise awareness and spark important conversations. With care, compassion, and increased information, individuals and their loved ones can be more aware of vital services and support.
Residents can request the Mental Health Matters license plate while renewing an auto plate at their county Probate Office. The plate also can also be personalized.
Individuals who preordered the plate will be emailed a redemption voucher once the effective date of issuance is confirmed. We are looking toward a date of April 1 for issuance! Individuals should retain the voucher until their designated renewal month to redeem a full year using the new license plate. Alternatively, the supporter could redeem the voucher as early as April, but if their renewal isn’t until June or later, they would have to pay another $50.00 at their June renewal.
If the supporter selected Personalized on their precommitment purchase, these plates will be ordered on demand when the supporter visits their local licensing office. All license plates must be ordered/registered with the county licensing office before the new plate is issued.
