Design
- The special WCU plate will have a purple and gold "WCU" insignia on the left side, followed by a "C" and four numerals (WCU C----).
- The N.C. Division of Motor Vehicles will automatically assign numerals in chronological order, beginning with 0001 and continuing through 9999. Please see "Personalized Plates" below for exceptions.
Personalized Plates
- The "WCU" insignia and the first letter ("C") cannot be altered.
- The final four characters can be a combination of letters, numerals, spaces, symbols, and punctuation.
- Punctuation, spaces, and symbols each take up one character space. Punctuation and/or symbols do not create different numbers, however. For example, C#001 and C0001 are considered duplicates.
- If you are considering using four numerals in your personalized plate, please note that the D.M.V. will not use a number until all preceding numbers have been assigned. For example, if you would like your plate to bear the graduation year of 1980, the D.M.V. will not honor your request ("C1980") until all preceding 1,979 numbers have been used. Consider requesting "CL'80" instead.
