DMV question

[u_say_go]

I know I could just wait to call them tomorrow, but this is buggin me.....I sent in my license plate renewal last week, today I went to the mailbox and not only did I get my sticker, they sent me new PLATES!?:shades
Anyone know why that would be?

Depends on how old your other ones are they change them out every so many years can't remember is 7 is the right number or not

[FANAT1C]

Sounds like just a simple mistake.

Was there any extra fees?

the old style plates had red characters and the first set of characters were 3 letters. now they are making them blue/black characters and numbers come first... they are working on phasing out the old style. my pops had the old style and this year on his renewal he got new plates as well

[u_say_go]

ahhhh, makes sense now. the old plates were about 7 years old and red characters, the new ones are black.
thanks fellas:thumbsup

They should be the same numbers/letters however.....

[VroomPshhTsi]

same thing happened for my mom's honda last year, different numbers/letters too

Actually, its only same numbers/letters if you have personalized plates. If you just have regular plates it could be anything.

Last year I got new plates for my T/A when I renewed the registration... I had the same red lettered original plates since I bought the car new in 1995, so it is just a matter of getting the red plates out of the system, not just a 7 year thing...

And since I don't have vanity plates the new plate numbers don't match.

That's it then, knew I wasn't completely off base......:thumbsup
