Virginia Parrot Head Plates are a Reality!

Post by Raleigh »

I got my plates today! Everyone who applied should be getting theirs in the next couple of weeks. I delivered them in the order that I received them but my wife's plates did not come today. I don't know if they are processing the generic numbers first and then the personalized or not. It may come tomorrow (let's hope). I anyone has any issues with their plates please direct them to the Virginia DMV. I've heard that some current personalizations didn't get transferred. DMV should be able to help you.

DMV still has not opened sales to their service centers or on their website. I check daily and when I see that it's there I will let you know. That will also signify the release of the souvenir plates.

For more information on the plate visit:

It's been a long process but we did it. Let's enjoy it.

I looked into it in Florida, and it took MEGA money just to go through
the process. So unless Bubba steps up, or I win the Lottery... :(

Well, that didn't take long.

The Virginia DMV is now accepting orders on their website. I cannot speak for the DMV offices but it'd be worth a try if you're opposed to the internet. The DMV website is http://dmvnow.com. All you out-of-staters can get busy now and join us Virginians.

Those of you who ordered personalized plates will have a slight delay in receiving them. Since they're customized based on your applications they can't be prestamped like the generic plates. I know it's hard when others are getting theirs but there's nothing I can do. My wife's in the same boat and you know I'm talking constantly about it. See, it could be worse.

Thanks,

Raleigh

I had the exact same idea when the Raleigh posted the prototype of the plates a while back:

Unfortunately, that personalized message was already taken... :(

Answers to some popular questions

Post by Raleigh »

1. If you have a problem with your plates it would be better for you to call Shirley Wells @ 804-367-9711 than the basic customer service. I have heard from people that regular customer service has been really easy to work with.

2. If you requested messages, and they are all taken, you will get a generic plate.

3. Custom plates are being received now. My wife received hers yesterday.

4. Motorcycle plates may become available. I need to submit reduced artwork and they will go through the same development process. I will only need one prepaid application however.
