How do we not have pictures yet??
excellent point....How do we not have pictures yet??
Camera fiasco on the way.....
So, just a dumbass question. In those states that do them,what is the reasoning for temporary plates, unless you are getting some sort of personalized plate? It seems like a waste of time and energy.
Pictures now God Dammit!........Please.

Not to mention the cost! Mario Cuomo the "great orator" decided that there was a market for vanity plates back in the nineties so he raised the prices from $35 (one time fee) plus regular yearly reg (anywhere from 25 to 50, depending on weight) to $100 setup fee plus about $100 per year reg fee. I would imagine sales dropped like a stone after that. Up until this year here in PA, a vanity plate was $35 one time fee plus yearly normal reg fee of $36. Our retarded new gov, must have went to the Cuomo school of tax and spend and raised the setup fee to $100. For now.In New York, standard plates are issued immediately.
Personalized plates take up to 5 weeks to be mailed to you.
I have been able to get DMV to do the personalized plate transaction at the same time that I got the standard plates. Then just wait for the mail.
When the personalized plates show up, you're supposed to turn in the standard plates and pay a $1 fee. I hang them on a board in my shop for free. Never had any follow up from DMV on the standard plates.
Letting the registration expire on personalized plates can be a nightmare if you let it go more than 6 months or so. It involves phone calls to a separate division, then wait for them to invalidate/validate the original registration.
Then put your personalized plates "in storage" at DMV, wait for the new registration to come in the mail, then pay a $5 storage fee to get your plates back.
A highly efficient system.
