Request a Boy Scout Special License Plate

Boy Scout troops across Australia can personalize their vehicle with a special licence plate that proudly displays their affiliation. The Boy Scout special licence plate is processed through the standard Optional/Personalised Vehicle Plates application, which is available as a fillable PDF.

What Is a Boy Scout Special Plate?

These plates are part of the optional plate series offered by the Department of Transport. They feature the official Boy Scout emblem and are available to registered Scouts who hold a valid driver’s licence and an active Scout membership.

How to Complete the Optional Plate Form

The form you need is the Optional/Personalised Vehicle Plates Application (PDF). Instead of downloading and editing it manually, simply click the "Fill out this form" button on the page. The Formize PDF Filler app will load the document, allowing you to type directly into each field.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Leaving any required field blank – the form will not submit.
• Using an incorrect Scout membership number; verify it on your membership card.
• Submitting the form without a clear, legible signature.
• Forgetting to attach a copy of your current driver’s licence.

Submit Your Application

Once the form is completed in Formize, click Submit. Your application will be emailed to the Department of Transport for processing. You will receive a confirmation email with next‑step instructions, including payment details and estimated plate production time (typically 3‑4 weeks).
