Ordering a Special Tag

If you are interested in applying for a special tag, you can click here to visit the Georgia Department of Revenue website.  This website will provide you with information about special tags including any qualifying documentation required to apply for the special tag, any fees associated with applying for the special tag and sample pictures of special tags.

Most special tags require the following:  

  • A manufacturing fee to be paid for the initial issuance of the special tag.
  • An annual special tag fee in addition to the tag renewal fee due at the vehicle owner’s registration period.
  • Any applicable ad valorem taxes due. 

The registered owner’s valid Georgia driver’s license or Georgia ID card will be required in order to request a special tag.

If you wish to request a special tag and it is time to renew your tag:

  • Online:  When renewing your tag online, you will see a list of special tags that you can apply for while completing your online renewal.  You will choose the special tag you wish to apply for by clicking on the appropriate choice and then follow the prompts.  Any additional fees involved will be calculated into the total for the online renewal.  At the end of the transaction, there will be confirmation information you will need to print and retain until you receive the special tag in the mail.  The special tag will be mailed to the registered owner’s address. If all required fees are paid and the special tag requested is not in stock, you will receive a 90 day temporary operating permit that must be displayed visibly in the back window of the vehicle the special tag is registered to.  Once the special tag has been manufactured, it will be mailed to the registered owner’s address.
  • By Mail:  Write in the name of the special tag and add any additional fees involved in the spaces provided on the payment coupon portion of the renewal notice.  Submit the completed payment coupon with any required documentation necessary for the special tag to be issued to:  Gwinnett County Tax Commissioner, P O Box 829, Lawrenceville, GA, 30046.  (Note:  Please read all applicable instructions on the renewal notice.)  Once the payment is received and processed by the Gwinnett County tag office, the special tag will be mailed to the registered owner’s address.  If all required fees are paid and the special tag requested is not in stock, you will receive a 90 day temporary operating permit that must be displayed visibly in the back window of the vehicle the special tag is registered to.  Once the special tag has been manufactured, it will be mailed to the registered owner’s address.
  • In Person:  When you visit one of the five Gwinnett County tag offices, just inform the employee at the window which special tag you would like to request prior to renewing your vehicle registration.  You will need to provide any required documentation necessary for the special tag to be issued.  All additional fees involved will be calculated into the total for the renewal.  If all required fees are paid and the special tag requested is not in stock, you will receive a 90 day temporary operating permit that must be displayed visibly in the back window of the vehicle the special tag is registered to.  Once the special tag has been manufactured, it will be mailed to the registered owner’s address.
  • By Telephone:  At this time, special tags can not be requested over the phone.

If you wish to request a special tag and it is not time to renew your tag, you can exchange the tag currently registered to a vehicle:

  • In Person:  When you visit one of the five Gwinnett County tag offices, you will need to bring the tag that is currently registered to the vehicle along with any required documentation necessary for the issuance of the special tag.  Any additional fees involved to issue the special tag will be charged at the time the tag exchange is processed.  If all required fees are paid and the special tag requested is not in stock, you will receive a 90 day temporary operating permit that must be displayed visibly in the back window of the vehicle the special tag is registered to.  Once the special tag has been manufactured, it will be mailed to the registered owner’s address.
  • Online, By Mail or By Telephone:  Tag exchanges can not be processed online, by mail or over the telephone.
