License Plate Plant

Utah Correctional Industries’ License Plate Plant produces every license plate used on Utah vehicles and operates the state’s centralized license plate fulfillment program. The shop has been part of UCI since its earliest days and remains one of its most efficient operations.

About the Program

In its first full fiscal year under the new centralized distribution model, the Plate Plant shipped 786,538 standard plates and 49,659 motorcycle plates as of mid-June 2026 — the highest volume of plates ever produced in a single fiscal year. An innovative on-demand process now allows plates to be printed, laminated, bordered, and packaged in as little as five days from the time an order is received from the Tax Commission.

This improved process supports efficient production of standard, specialty, and smaller plates, including motorcycle and ATV plates, as well as the seamless rollout of the limited-edition USA 250th Anniversary plate.
