I want to have a customized license plate for myG. How does it work? When I looked up the website of DMV, they say I should pay a certain amount annually. Is it true?

Plus, I saw some cars have cool designed plates that weren't showing on the website. Or I only able to get those plate designs which were limited by the DMV? If I do want to have a different background design or symbols, do I pay more money?

If you are in CA, then you can look up avail combinations and order them online. It takes anywhere from 8-12 weeks to get them and you do not have to specify the car that it will be on. When you receive them, make an appointment with the DMV and take the car down that you want to switch plates with. Walk in, give them your old plates....give them the paperwork for the new plates pay $10 and get your new tags for the new plates. Go outside and put the new plates on - voila, done!

Curious girl, Not sure which state you're in. I am in CA and went to the DMV site on-line to ordere mine. It was very easy, when I made my selection it told me if my choice was available or not and displayed the plate on the screen, once I had found one.

everythings you need to know,SOCALTED allready answers.the hard part is chosing the name,good luck...(:-}

 

The 'Memorial' plate looks cool as well as the 'Whale Tail'. Does anyone know what the bottome line says on the 'Whale Tail' plate? ... something Coast & Ocean. I'm also in the process of getting one.

Thanks, guys.
I'll probably go ahead to change it in this week. I hope the words, that I was gonna get, were not all taken...my whises..

By the way, I'm in Pasadena CA. Pasadena DMV is kinda always crowded with people in line..sometimes wait for 30 mins. Do you guys any recommandation to go to?
maybe Ventura...haha........too far......bad.

P.S : Is there anyone went to the Oct 25th meeting at
Gardena?
If you guys were, would give the name for recalling me?

Curious girl....Haemi....

 

dang 30 min wait is heaven, try 2-3 hrs at the Van Nuys DMV. I'm about to pick my plates this week, it took 3 months from the day I ordered them on line.
If I were you I would jump on it and order be fore what you want is taken. I wanted "DSCREET" it was there, waited and then i was gone =( so after thinking for a while I came up with "DSKREET" =P

I believe you can make an appointment with the DMV, and then go at your appointed time and wait in a different, shorter line. Call them and ask.

I should change my address also;moreover, I want to get a new driver's license card (maybe duplicated one) so perhaps I want to go and do three things at a same time......haha....
The thing is my current driver's license magnetic got damaged, already few times of moving and has the red line that shows 21 yrs in 20xx. you know that is silly. whenever I need ID to show, I always give new address, they take time to swipe it,,,,,plus they make fun of me....like .....you still have a red line .but I'm not minor age anymore....,,

All at once, it's always good.......

 

I got my personalized plates (R8ED G) about a month ago. I ordered it online at www.dmv.ca.gov and then I made 4 appointments to pick up the plates about a week apart starting about 5 weeks after I ordered. I ended up cancelling the first 2 appointments when I didn't get the notice to pick up the plates. My next appointment was for 2 days after I got the notice. Make sure you remember to bring a screwdriver to take off your old plates when you arrive and to install the new ones before driving off. I only had to wait about 5-10 minutes because I had the appointment!

Oh, yeah,,, I should bring the thing that I can take off the old license plate.....Since I drove my car for 5 months...yeah,,,
I can't just simply take it off at home and hand in, huh..
I might get a ticket if I don't place that on...
Thanks so much... to mention that ...
