Definition

Souvenir or commemorative license plates are manufactured to mark a certain event or advertise a certain group, sports team, etc. They are for collection purposes only as they are not recognized as legal license plates by any jurisdiction even though these plates often look like genuine license plates.

Booster license plates are similar to souvenir plates but they are usually flat without an embossed "registration".

Special Event license plates do not fall into this category as these plates can be legally displayed (sometimes only for a limited period of time often along with the original license plates of the vehicle) and they are recognized by jurisdictions during such time. For examples of such plates see the Event License Plates page.
