Subject: [GARS] Amateur Radio Tag Form MV9X
Something of interest to all that have a present
Amateur Radio tag on their
vehicle or for those who are contemplating getting
one. Tag fee is no charge
its free.
Since 2004 is going to be a new plate manufacturing
year it is important for
you to know how politics play an important part of
your tag renewal next
year.
I have researched this out and provided you a simple
way to get your new
plate for 2004 made and ready for you at the tag
office on your next year
renewal, but it is up to you to follow through and do
it.
First, there is no automatic new plate going to you
next year, you must ask
for a new plate and you must provide all this
information on a state form
MV9X before July 31st this year in order to have your
new plate ready for
pick up next year.
How do I get that form you ask? simple just go to this
web site ( it is
also the firefighters page)
http://www.dmvs.ga.gov/plates/special/cf.html
and click on MV9X and either down load it as a file by
clicking on MV9X and
then left click on save target as in which case you
will have an option of
where on your system you would like to save the file
to open later or you
can print it out online.
Remember it is in Acrobat Reader form and you need
that program to open the
saved file and also to be able to read it online.
Where is that you ask?
here I say here
http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep.html.
Now that you have the form maybe you will print some
out for your buddies.
There is no instruction sheet for the form to print
out so you have to
follow these instructions. ( The MV9X with
instructions is available at your
local tag office)
There is no fee, just check the free amateur radio
box, fill in you call
sign, social security number, drivers license number
and sign and date it.
Copy your present amateur radio FCC license and attach
it to your completed
MV9X form.
Bring it to your local tag office and tell them what
its all about and ask
for a receipt and your done.
You can also mail it in but I prefer doing it hands on
and there are no
mistakes.
What happens if I don't request a tag before July 31st
will I get a new tag?
No, when you are mailed your next years tag renewal
you won't get a new
plate, you will have to bring in your vehicle
registration for 2004 top pay
your vehicle tax to the tag office and request a new
tag, you will need all
of the information I gave above including a copy of
your ham license, they
will have the form MV9X there.
They will then issue you a 90 day temporary tag to use
while your plate is
made.
I suggest making it easy on yourself and do it before
July 31st this year
