Is anyone here involved in a PA Parrothead club? If so, take a look at this:

Specialty Plate Program
The Specialty Plate Program allows approved organizations to advocate their interests, charge a fee above the $20.00 PennDOT fee and provides for a distinctive license plate.

Specialty Plates are manufactured in our standard plate colors - blue, white, and yellow. The organization's name appears across the bottom of the plate and "Pennsylvania" is printed across the top of the plate. The 3" x 3" canvas area on the left side of the plate displays the organization's emblem or logo using graphic printing that offers color and intricacy of detail.

Specialty Plates are currently available for passenger cars, motor homes and trucks with a registered gross weight of 9,000 pounds or less. Specialty Plates are not available for motorcycles and trailers.

To qualify for the Specialty Plate Program, an organization must meet the following criteria:

Be a Non-profit organization;
Have as one of its primary purposes, services to the community, which results in a contribution to the welfare of others;
Be based, headquartered, have a chapter or licensed in Pennsylvania;
Not be offensive in purpose, nature, activity or name, as determined by the Department;
Guaranteed a minimum of applications (negotiable) before any plate will be produced.
If your organization would like to be a part of the Specialty Plate program please contact Penni Bernard, Specialty Plate Program Coordinator by email at pbernard@state.pa.us for a complete program packet.
-----------------

Looks like the Parrothead club would qualify, and PA seems to be letting everyone do a speciality plate....there are currently 128 qualified organizations with their own plates.

Please keep us 'posted' about the status of this if it happens!

Virginia has Parrothead specialty plates, and allows non-residents to order sample plates. I have a Virginia "z-man" sample plate, and would love to order from other states if they become available.

You could try sending the info to steelcityfins.com-- Pittsburgh's club. I'm not a member, but maybe they'd be interested. Who was that on here, Virginia(?) that got that all together... I'd be in!

My PHC has been working on this for about 6 months. We are getting closer but it will still take awhile.

My understanding of the situation is you have to be a member to qualify for the plate.
