Historic Tags in Maryland

Maryland historic tags are special registration plates for qualifying older or collector vehicles. Eligibility rules, including vehicle age, use restrictions, and insurance requirements, are set by the Maryland MVA, not by Signature Tag & Title. Signature Tag & Title is an independent, private tag and title service that helps Pikesville and Baltimore-area customers prepare and submit historic tag applications. We are not the MVA and we do not set eligibility rules.

Who this is for: owners of qualifying antique, classic, or collector vehicles who want to apply for historic tags, or who have questions about whether their vehicle may qualify. [Contact our team if you're unsure - eligibility details are confirmed at appointment.]

The checklist below is a general starting point. Exact document requirements are confirmed at your appointment.
