Ok Ill make this short and to the point!
I filled out the form for personal plates here in NJ, sent it out with a $50.00 dollar check and slipped it in the mail 9 weeks ago.
I got a little concerned so I stopped by the local D.M.V. and asked if there was any way for them to check on the status, this is where it gets funny.
The lady told me I have to call the special plates unit..
I was like what?..i didnt know there was a secret underground division called the "Special plates unit"
So I called today and got a guy clearing his throat and introduced himself as FRANK. Kinda sounded like I called a low end garage as he never said this was a unit of the D.M.V.
I explained my problem to him and after a gaggle of throat clearing he explained he would have to look for my application in the pile.
I thought the D.M.V. would have a system of computers and such but I guess they use the hand going through the pile method.
He said IF he finds it he will get it on processed this week.
GOD I HATE NJ.

Why cant I just get my plates for my C5?

OK my rant is done and I feel better now...well not really but thats my story.

J.P.M.

 

Okay - never heard of S.P.U. I've heard of S.V.U. and S.U.V., as well as I.A.B. and I.U.D. Do they make the plates at a prison....a lot of states do!

I've been waiting seven weeks for a reprint of a plate I already have, just with a different background.

 

Find out where his office is located, go there in a black suit, clear your throat, introduce yourself as the "Special plates unit special investigator", and ask why he isn't doing his job.
Hey, it could work, if they are that bassackwards in their operation.

 

Randy...
It was news to me also.
I thought it was a joke but it is a real division sadly..
I could give you the number and you too can speak with Frank

 

I think you got Bubba at the Prison Plate Factory.

Did you check for $50 clear? If so check the date it cleared then you'll know they got you application.

 

Let's hope they get the text right. In NC, they allow punctuation, and they gave me a period instead of a comma. Had to pen the tail in myself.

I did mine online in Jersey with absolutely no problems...the biggest problem was deciding which one I wanted and on which plate... looking at how it was going to actually look got interesting.

good luck using snail mail

 

Jersey is the worst...cant believe i moved back here from sunny Florida.

 

Special Plates Unit !!! You gotta be s*%iting me!! I thought the Massachusetts RMV was F'd up. In other words, to work there, you need to be related to a state rep. It took only 4 weeks to get my vanity plates here. Although mine are a special request veteran plate. The Mass RMV does have a veterans representative who primary job was to be sure that veterans get prompt service.

 

 

Welcome back couldn't make it in Sunny Florida? Here's a hint for ya... don't drink the water

Here's a link!

Note from the link:
Note: If your vehicle is leased, you cannot purchase a personalized plate online. Please contact the MVC Special Plate Unit at (609) 292-6500 or toll-free in NJ at (888) 486-3339 and ask for FRANK!

 

My home town provided Corzine for you, lucky me

 

WI has a special plates division too, and just recently, they finally got to posting an online database of all the personalized plates already taken, even notes what make/year car they are registered to.

Before that, they at least did have an email address you could send plate requests to, and they would reply telling you if/what was available. That's how I got mine...I emailed them 5 requests, all basically the same thing with just spelling variations, and they replied the next day telling me 4 of the 5 were available. I then filled out the form with my top choice, and mailed it in with the check.

Sure beats the old way of writing down your 3 choices and sending it in, hoping/wondering what plates (if any) you'd actually get. (been there, done that too).

 

Do you see what you've done here? You've combined a DMV operation with a US Postal operation. What are you freakin crazy? Seriously though, the Virginia DMZ offices are so f#cked up, althouh their online services are pretty good. But I avoid the USPS like the plague. And we want government provided health care? The government is only good at one thing- bombing the SNOT out of stuff. Damn we can kick some ***. But I digress. Back on topic.

 

In Texas I went to a small town office that does plates and asked them to run (on the computer) SICK HP it was available and I fill out the application and several weeks later I got my plates

 

I ordered mine on-line......got them within a month......yes in NJ.

 

Great idea, and when you get there tell him it's G10 level and you need "the cone of silence" to discuss the matter, have your shoe ring and answer it as agent 86.....

 

Can you PM me a link? I would like to see the WI online listing, which I didn't find on the Website. Thanks!

 

They must have spoted your's inbetween **** sites

 

yeah it is kind of annoying when someone is supposed to send someting and never do
