Each of the 50 states of the United States of America plus several of its territories and the District of Columbia issued individual passenger license plates for 2020.

Changes were made to many license plates issued by the states and territories of the United States. The state of Arizona abandoned their seven character license plates in favor of six characters. The shortage of aluminum also caused delays in shipping new Arizona plates to vehicle owners. In Arkansas the format changing to three letters followed by two numbers and a letter. Delaware added an optional horseshoe crab license and "Bicycle Friendly" plates to the list of optional plates available there. The District of Columbia added five new graphic license plates for veterans (Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, and Coast Guard). Florida change the format of its regular issue passenger plates to be to be two numbers followed by four letters. The Polynesian Voyaging Society was honored with a plate in Hawaii. The dies used on Guam plates were changed so that the characters would be bolder, and the format was changed to be two letters and a number followed by a space and then three letters. The availability in Idaho of Corvette, Elk Foundation, NRA, and Rotary plates were discontinued because of lack of sales. In Illinois the Temporary Registration Permits, that are applied to all new vehicles, were updated to include two characters in the middle as well as the vehicle serial number and manufacturer. "End ALS" license plates became available in Indiana. The number zero was finally allowed on Iowa license plates.

Other changes included Kentucky issuing a new graphic plate for amateur radio operators as well as those who were awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross, the Air Medal or the Combat Infantryman Badge. The Louisiana State University football team was honored with a license plate for their 15-0 season. Maine continued to allow the use of the front bicentennial plate because of the COVID-19 pandemic, but it severely curtailed what could be emblazoned on a personalized plate because of many registrants offensive combinations of characters. Massachusetts implemented a change to prevent multiple types of plates from having the same serial number. Plates with the slogan "In God We Trust" were the subject of a lawsuit in Mississippi. Like some other states, Montana experienced shortages of aluminum and was considering temporarily issuing plates without aluminum backing in plastic sleevers. Nebraska expanded their graphic license plate program to include wildlife plates. Optional plates in Nevada, which could only be purchased over the counter until now, became available for purchase online. North Carolina implemented a rolling plate replacement program, but later had to suspend the program later in the year because of the worldwide shortage of aluminum. Rhode Island eliminated the space in the middle of their passenger license plates, and efforts were made to prevent duplicate registration numbers being issued to different specialty plates. Wisconsin began to issue an optional license plate recognizing utility workers. Washington (state) issued 60 day temporary plates because of production delays for its plates. The Eastern Box Turtle and natural gas plates were issued by West Virginia.
