It is just a copy of your license. Some may think there is something different or they are pulling your leg.

You are supposed to have that license with you when operating portable and have it posted at a base station. Anyhow, you do not take it to DPS. DPS only processes driver's licenses. You will take the form to your county tax collector's office. They will process it, have the plates made and then you call them in about a month and ask if your plates are in. Ask where they are. They could be at the downtown office and you can ask for them to be sent to any outlying tax collectors office. Once a year, you will get a notice to renew the specialized plate. This is not the paying the registration fee and getting the window sticker. This is only that you are keeping the specialized plate alive. It used to cost $2, for the last 3-4-5 years, it has been free. But you do have to send the notice back. Strange, They send it, you tear off the reply part, send it back and no money is involved. Best thing the state ever did for us. I had a car totaled, took plates off old car, put them on the new car at the dealer and left them with the form and copy of my license. In a few weeks the registration came and put the sticker on the windshield. Be sure to get replacement plates if you ever sell the car. Otherwise the other person will be driving around with your ham plates and you cannot do anything about it. When you get the replacement plates (like $5), you will be given your plates to keep. Also, if you buy a used car, you can go in with your ham plates, register the car and you walk out with the registration and sticker for the ham plates right then. Did that on a car we bought used. 73...bruce On 11/15/2019 2:12 AM, Mark Brantana via BVARC wrote: > Hi. I am new to this club.
