Vehicle registration plates of Alabama
Encyclopedia
The U.S. state
of Alabama
has issued license plates
for motorized vehicles operated on state highways since 1911. Some Alabama municipalities issued their own license plates for horse-drawn vehicle
s as well as motorcars prior to that date, with the earliest surviving example being a bronze plate, "No. 1", issued by the City of Bessemer
for a two-horse dray
.
The law establishing state-issued plates provided that they would be 4 and one half inches wide by no more than 12 inches long, with the letters "ALA" running vertically on the left and 3" tall numerals with 1/2" strokes. Plate #1 was issued to the Leak Funeral Home in Montgomery
In 1916 Alabama switched from porcelain to stamped tin plates. Beginning in 1917 the issue year was stamped onto the plate, and in 1919 the size of the plates was increased to 6" x 15". In 1922 a code for the vehicles weight class was added to the plates and Kilby Prison
near Montgomery took charge of all manufacture in 1928.
In 1942 Alabama began using a code for each county, assigning numbers 1, 2, and 3 to the most populous Jefferson
, Mobile
and Montgomery
counties, respectively and numbering the rest in alphabetical order. Due to metal shortages during World War II
, the state issued window decals only in 1943. A 1951 law added a heart shape and the phrase "Heart of Dixie" to the state's license plates, adopting a slogan created by the Alabama Chamber of Commerce. The law has never been repealed, and the motif still appears (although usually very small) on all standard-issue plates.
Since 1980, Alabama has used a staggered registration system based on the first letter of the registrant's last name. Registrations expire January through November, with fleet, leased, and commercial vehicles expiring in November.
that fixed the size for all their passenger vehicle plates at six inches in height by twelve inches in width, with standardized mounting holes. The 1955 (dated 1956) issue was the first Alabama license plate that complied with these standards.
From 1955 to 1976, with the exception of 1974 and 1976, the standard plate design did not change except for colors. All plates had embossed numbers, border, ALABAMA, the two-digit registration year and the heart logo and HEART OF DIXIE in one color, with the base of the plate in another color. On all plates except 1973 and 1975, the heart was in the bottom left corner, with the registration year in the bottom right; 1973 and 1975 switched these two positions. HEART OF DIXIE was always above the numbers, and ALABAMA was always below, in slightly larger print than HEART OF DIXIE. Eight different color combinations in fifteen different variations were used; of those, only three combinations (1964, 1966 and 1971) were used only once. (It is interesting to note that the colors of the University of Alabama and Auburn University
, the state's two biggest schools and rivals, were used in back-to-back years, 1963 & 1964.)
