AKA License Plate

[jitterbug13]

If it wasn't for the South Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles being slow about posting this on their website, I would have posted this last month.

In time for the centennial, the state of South Carolina began issuing AKA license plates. SC also has plates for Delta, Kappa and Omega.

Dagnabbit! Now if SC has one, Florida shouda already had one!

Yeah - as I stated before, we'd have to jump through hoops to get a specialty tag:

"Legislation must be enacted to establish a new specialty license plate design. Proposals for specialty license plates may only be considered by the legislature upon compliance with statutory requirements. The Division of Motor Vehicles Procedure RS-20, Creation of A Specialty License Plate, contains the proper requirements that organizations must follow to pursue legislation for specialty license plates. Click here to view DMV Procedure RS-20.

The basic requirements are: The organization must hire an independent survey company to conduct a survey on Florida registered motor vehicle owners, an application fee of $60,000, a long-term and short-term marketing plan, financial analyses and the design of the license plate. The requirements must be submitted to the Department 90-days before the first day of the legislative session."

Uh huh. . .

Of course they finally get one after I move out of state.

I just checked out the California DMV's website for their requirements. Cali requires 7,500 people to apply for the special plates before they will produce them.....

On a semi-unrelated note that Steeltrap will appreciate--

I've also heard if a certain # doesn't maintain the plates year to year ( I heard in CA its 7000 sold each year or something like that)-- the DMV can pull them.

CA's UCLA plate is in danger of going away! No complaints from this USC alum.

Ladies, those AKA plates are so coool!

LOL at the UCLA plate going away. I'm not going to complain either.

Hello ladies!

I think those plates are very cool. I wish AXO had them!

But I was just wondering...do you have to show proof that you are a member to receive the plates? Does the DMV actually check organization records?

That could start major problems if they didn't!

[techie_girl_44]

..have to show proof that you are a member of whatever organization you are trying to get a plate for. The websites that I saw specifically had that noted beneath the license plate.

I agree, I am in TN and not a member. IF I am ever honored to gain membership I would certainly like to obtain one. Though I have never seen one on anyone's car. I have seen plenty of the frames and AKA plates but not license plates.

hmmm I wonder why not?

I live in FL which has specialized plates. I have a Florida A&M specialized plate with vanity letters-BAAKA, my line sister has a regular FL tag that says FAMUAKA. When I lived in Michigan, AKA was a vanity plate, one could get a license plate that said AKA001, but the state handed out the numbers in the order that you appeared at DMV.

I had a Grambling vanity plate on my car I got in '94, either it was stolen or it fell off. Anyway, I had heard a year or so ago that our school's plate production was in jeopardy also. I guess it's okay now. I still see the plates.



But when I did have my vanity plate, I inquired about getting it personalized and I was informed that it was not possible. (That's Lowzyana, for ya!)

I have seen every D9 org represented on MD plates. In fact, they are on at least the second version of the plates for most orgs.
in order to obtain them, you must go through your org to certify you are a member. The chairperson handles the paperwork w/ the DMV.

[AKA2D '91]

I'm excited ya'll. I ordered my AKA plate. It's available!

Yaaaaaayyyyyyyy! Here it is:



It's about time Lozyana does something right!



Edit: You have to prove that you are a member when you order. So, anyone just can't order a plate.

Thanks to the Nu Gamma Omega chapter BR for organizing this effort. I know I place my name on the list almost 2 years ago.

#1 goes to Soror Julia Purnell. Sorors should know why....
