Recently I reserved a personalized license plate through DMV's website because for whatever reason the system was down for maint. and could not accept actual orders. I went through all the steps and it brought me to a confirmation page that I would need to print out if I decided to go to a DMV in person and complete the transaction. Naturally, like any human being, I want to avoid the actual DMV at all costs so I didn't pay attention to that and navigated away from that page thinking it'd be easy to purchase plates once I've reserved them, wrong. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to complete the transaction.

Has anyone, recently, reserved plates online and gone back and purchased them at a later time? If so, what was the procedure? In retrospect I probably should have at least saved the confirmation page, but I did not. Do I have to wait 90 days for the reservation to expire or am I overlooking something?

there should be a way to select "purchase your plate". you should then have an option to pull a reserved plate based on pertinent info that you would have. if nothing else, give the DMV a call and tell 'em the deal.

ive never really reserved a plate, always just typed in the custom letters, then purchased tho.

You would think that'd be the case, but I can't find an option to purchase a reserved plate. I remember a few years back that if you typed in a combination that wasn't available/or was reserved, it had a link to follow if you were the one who had reserved it, this is no longer the case.

its the same fashon as original.

click customize plate
enter tag

I enter the message I reserved on the same plate, I click view plate, it says message not available/plate not available/etc. I click "purchase now" and it brings up a window that says "click view plate." It will not let me progress to the next screen.

Looks like I'm gonna hafta.

i would call them. did it not send you any kind of e-mail confirmation or anything? that kind of sucks as it is obvious you wanted those plates

Flinch

Nah, no e-mail. I don't remember entering my e-mail in the process. The only information I entered of mine was the title number and last 4 of the VIN.

well i hope all this effort is for tags that will be worth it.

i can't come up with anything cool enuf for tags :/

B-Well

I reserved on for a few weeks then went back and snagged it.

did you enter your vin/title# to reserve it?
