Finally!!!

Plates have been printed and mailed out to everyone. If you have ordered you Virginia Tech plate and have not received it, you need to contact the DMV. To order plates if you have not done so already, all you need to do is go online or to your local DMV office. Most DMV offices still do not have the Virginia tech plates in stock, so they will more than likely need to be ordered, but you can do that from the local DMV office if you wish.

Please note:

Your plate(s) will be sent to the address on your registration (not your application).

If your address has changed, please make sure your registration is up to date (you do not need to update your plate application).

If there are any problems with your paperwork (i.e. you no longer own the vehicle on your application), the DMV will contact you by letter for additional information.

Important Note Regarding Registration Fees:

If you renewed your registration within 3 months of receiving the plate, you will not owe any additional fees.

If you have not renewed your registration within 4 or more months of receiving the plate, you will be required to renew your registration upon receiving the plate.

Personalized Plate Applicants:

If you have not mailed in your $10 fee increase (payable to VTAA), please send it in to VTAA - PO Box 30471 - Charlotte, NC 28230. The Charlotte Chapter paid the difference for those who did not send in this fee increase, so we would appreciate your compliance with this request.

We will update this page once the DMV sends out the plates to make sure everyone receives your plate(s).
