Milwaukee Brewers - Wisconsin Department of Transportation

When you purchase special Milwaukee Brewers license plates, your fees include an annual $25 donation that may be tax-deductible. The Southeast Wisconsin Professional Baseball Park District, which oversees Miller Park on behalf of the taxpayers of the five counties comprising the district, receives the extra $25, less a 2% licensing fee to Major League Baseball. All proceeds received by the district will be fully and solely dedicated to the retirement of the Miller Park stadium construction debt.

You may select from two plate designs:

The Brewers current 'M' logo
The Brewers retro "ball and glove" logo

Automobiles
Motor homes (annual registration only)
Truck
- 4,500, 6,000 or 8,000 pounds gross weight including dual purpose farm and dual purpose motor home

Plates may be transferred from an auto to a truck/motor home, or vice versa, upon payment of the appropriate registration fee.

Personalized license plates

Personalizing your Milwaukee Brewers license plates is optional.
A $15 personalized plate fee is required each year in addition to the regular annual registration fee.
Visit Personalized Plate Lookup to find out if your choice for a personalized license plate is available.
No refund or adjustment will be made for a change of choice or spacing after the plates are ordered or if the application is unclear or incorrectly completed.
WisDOT may refuse to issue, or may recall after issuance, a request that may be offensive to good taste or decency, misleading or conflicts with any other license plate.
After you receive the Certificate of Registration, allow 4-6 weeks for the manufacturing and mailing process before the plates arrive.

Change from personalized to regular plates

If you later decide to re-register with standard license plates, return a copy of your Certificate of Registration with a request for standard plates. Include the regular registration fee if your plates will expire within the next 3 months.

Temporary plates required

To legally operate your vehicle, you must display license plates within two business days of purchase. If you do not have current plates, apply to a DMV service center or an agent authorized by DMV for a temporary plate while your Milwaukee Brewers plate order is processed. An agent may charge a plate fee and/or service fee.

Release of information

If you want your name and address withheld from mailing lists of 10 or more individuals, complete and return page 3 of form MV4062 .
