tigertales 0 Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 Hey, someone alerted me to this string of posts. It is called the "Auburn Club Special Tag" and the Atlanta Auburn Club was the group that got the license plate launched. I am on the club board and have posted a lot of FAQ information on our messageboard about the process for the tags. There is also a link to the DMV website (for info on cost, renewal, etc) and photos of the tag on our home page -- all of this can be found at: www.atlantaauburnclub.com Note: these tags are selling so well that the DMV went ahead and ordered 3,000 more on only the second week of issue. That will mean a total of 5,300 so far. I suspect this will only increase as more students and alumni in the state actually see the tag on the road. We will be posting any updates to the numbers on our messageboard as we get them. I have spoken with the head of the Special Tag Unit and told him that some people were told the tag has sold out. He said the tag has NOT sold out and only shows up like this in the county DMV computer when they have assigned the 200 or so tag numbers that they release each day. Normally the county office is supposed to call the Special Tag Unit when this happens -- and they'll free up some more numbers. But apparently some offices aren't. The Tag Unit is only doing this right now because they are trying to monitor how the tag is selling -- (they want to make sure no shortages, etc.) Currently, the tags are mailed out from the Special Tag Unit in Atlanta -- to your home address -- after you have paid your fees. Everyone that we've heard back from has gotten them within a week to 10 days. I invite you all to check out the Georgia Tag Forum on the AAC messageboard for much more information. And if you have any more questions, feel free to contact us at: communications@atlantaauburnclub.com AAC Web Page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumps 3,704 Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 It will be great to see AU tags in the sate of Georgia!! I know this is changing the thread a little, but does anyone besides me think it is ridiculous that our state will not allow any college from outside of Alabama to be on license plates? Hey, if it brings in more $$ to the state to let people have Tenn or UGA tags then let 'em have 'em (just charge them a lot) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nanatiger 3 Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 I had to renew my tag in Dec. I will be moving to another county in March/April. I know I have to transfer my tag to the new county. Does anyone know if I can get the new AU tag when I transfer or will I have to wait till Dec.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tigertales 0 Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 Thanks, that's what I was hoping. 213251[/snapback] nanatiger -- yes, you can get the tag early -- but the initial costs are $50 ($25 manufacturing fee and $25 tag fee) --- Then when your birthday rolls around you have to pay $45 renewal, plus your regular taxes, etc --- we have the DMV page linked on our website with the complete fee info. Link is below for you. Apparently the Georgia DMV has gotten quite of charge out of the Auburn fans here -- because despite our bowl loss, people were showing up at the county offices to get their tags as soon as they reopened from the holidays on January 3rd. If you do the math -- the folks opting for early tags (before their normal renewal time) mean BIG added bucks for the state. We had to collect a minimum 1,000 applications statewide last year in order to launch this. We got 2,114. Now multiply that by $50 per tag. Now, people are lining up to get it before their birthdays -- so add an additional $45 income per tag for the state when people do that. Oh yeah -- and in the second week of issue -- the state ordered 3,000 more tags!!! I plan on keeping tabs with the state -- wouldn't be surprised if by end of the year the "Auburn Club Special Tag" is one of the most popular "Special tags" in the state of Georgia.

tigertales 0 Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 forgot to mention something --- if you have not previously applied for the tag (in the AAC's drive to collect applications last year) --- you will have to fill out the same "Special Tag" application form -- but you will do it at your county DMV office. Just make sure you list the tag as "Auburn Club Special Tag" which is how it is noted on the DMV website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
