I got mine also, but they didn't put my LDSHRK on it. They went to my back-up, ONEHBR. Luckily I called the contact info that was given and she was able to change it to send me LDSHRK!! Now I just have to "destroy" the other plate. LOL...

I got mine this week - it says WAVE! Thanks for all the work, I love it!

Got this from a person who says she knows the people in the plate area of DMV: In case you haven't heard and people ask you about the delay, our plate making "shop" in the Powhatan Correctional facility has run out of 'sheet metal' used to make the new Parrot Head plates. It is on order, but they could not give me a date that manufacture would start again, maybe a week or two. Since the plate type has hit the website, requests are rolling in. I can't verify the authenticity since I haven't heard this from my contact there but thought I'd throw it out anyway.

Seems like if they had run out of sheet metal for these plates, then they don't have sheet metal for ANY plates (at least personalized). But what do I know. I don't even have a job.

Yeah, I guess if I can't do it, that's what the Powhatan Correction Facility is for.

Consider this: if you are a Parrothead who somehow ends up in jail, would you consider it a punishment or an honor to make Parrothead license plates??????

That must be the reason I still haven't gotten mine! Sure would have liked to have had them last Sunday so I could have had the guys autograph the back: JM&BBB

There's always the D.C. shows........

I would think if they ran out of sheet metal, it would be for all the plates...

I ordered a PH plate for my hubby for father's day. We're due with our first any day, and I had it say "Dad 04". He's going to love it!

I was amazed at how many other types of plates VA has...

Does anyone have lvnluk on their plates? or luvnlk?

I'm not from VA, but playing around on the DMV site I see that LVNLUK and LUVNLK are both taken, but LV&LUK (or LUV&LK) is available, along with L2CHIL. Pretty cool, might have to order a souviner plate!

I sent those in for requests. Anyone know how to change the request to one that isnt taken so Im not stuck with an unpersonalized plate? Thanks for the help.

Clintster, here is the link to the page of the Va. DMV's website where you can not only check to what's available, but also see what the personalization would look like:
https://www.dmv.state.va.us/dmvnet/plat ... ?PLT=PRTHD

Unfortunately, it looks like both of yours are already taken. You can probably even order the plates online, but I didn't check that far.

Clintster plate update: What I did was call DMV. I reserved LUV&LK with a credit card. SO Ill get the plates I want. The lady told me they dont process July registration requests until JUly first. When I original sent remewal in I did it by mail so as it stands I will be charged twice but the DMV lady told me they would either renew my registration for 2 years or send the registration I mailed in back when they see it has already been processed. Downside: The lady at DMV told me it would take 6-8 weeks on the plates. I know others have said they have gotten theirs much earlier. I am eager to see if they arrive before the nissan show. Thanks again for all of your help.

Moe on the souviner plate you can get whatever you want on it as long as it is within the clean guidelines of ordering the regular plates

https://www.dmv.state.va.us/dmvnet/souv ... LT=&PLTNO=

look for the parrothead plate and you can personalize it any way you wish. I think you were on the page to actually order the plates thats why your requests kept coming up unavailable. if that dosent work pm me and i can try to help.

Alan11,

Thanks for the note. Eventually I did realize that the
souvenirs could be ordered for just about any combination,
whether it was taken by a 'real' VA driver or not.
"OLPHRT" didn't work though

, although it does show
what the plate would look like!

I went into the actual order site to check on the combos
that another poster inquired about, where the DMV does
let you know whether it's available or not. Plates that are
in use say something like only the owner can renew. Plates
that are restricted will have text that it's not available, but
not that it's in use.

Any other states have Parrothead specific plates available?

Thanks,
Moe

Moe, Virginia is the phirst state I've ever heard of that has Parrothead specific plates. Heck, we have plates for ANYTHING you can imagine

Alan11 · Post by **Alan11** » June 2, 2004 7:00 pm

phjrsaunt is absolutely right our state is broke as hell and barely got a budget passed but we have more license plates available than there are beers at some bars.

I just retired my redskin plates to get the parrothead ones the day they were first available. Ever since i got them I get thumbs up from people on the road and a few have blown the horn at me waving saying cool plates, the others have blown the horn for other reasons but I won't get into that

I don't know of any other state either that currently has or is planning to offer parrothead plates in the future. My guess is that the next state to offer them will be florida. I hope you found a sample plate you could use moe

Would you mind passing the PH
lisence plate idea up here to
Rhode Island?! We might be a small
state but we have a TON of PHs here!
PLEASE!!! WE NEED NEW IDEA"S HERE!

(how come R.I. never gets the best of things? (besides beaches and bars))

I ordered my souvenir plates back around 5/15, but still no plates have arrived.

Has anyone else out there been waiting longer?

Are they still out of blanks? Hard to believe.

Is there a phone number to confirm the status of the order?

Mine is for my parakeet's Cozy Coupe......and boy is he getting
impatient.....even for a 15 month old

Raleigh · Post by **Raleigh** » June 18, 2004 10:02 am

Call Shirley Wells at 804-367-9711 to check on the status of any orders that were placed but not received. I haven't heard if they received anymore materials but I know it took several weeks when they initially ordered it. Hopefully it won't take that long this time.

Also, the artwork for the motorcycle plates was submitted a few weeks ago and I'm waiting for the prototype to be produced. I hope to receive it soon.
