You can contact the DMV to see if a set of plates is clear. Their number is
1-800-777-0133. Dial 1 to get English, then 0 to get an agent. The 800
number agents know of the YOM law and can quickly check to see if the number
is in use.
AAA can do a lot of things for you, but they would not do a YOM plate
registration for me. Apparently a visit to the DMV is the only way to make
the transaction work. You will need to take with you:
* Your currently registered plates.
* The YOM plates you wish to have registered.
* Your current registration papers.
* A check or $35 in cash.
That is all the DMV written procedures seem to need. However, I ran into a
clerk that also insisted on:
* Proof of current insurance.
* The vehicle title ("pink slip")
Allow a long time at the DMV. The clerks do not do this transaction very
often. You will probably end up with one who has never done it. It will take
time to look up the form number (352, not available on the web), and to look
up the procedure in the loose leaf binder.
When you leave the DMV you will have your YOM tags and a window sticker to
show temporary registration. The DMV will keep your previously registered
plates and, in my case, the pink slip. You are not allowed to mount the YOM
tags on the car until you get a metal adaptor plate and current registration
stickers in the mail from the main DMV office in Sacramento. I left the DMV
feeling I'd never see my title again and wondering if all the forms had been
filled out properly.
YOM tag Once processed, you will get a metal piece to bolt on to the rear
license plate. This metal piece is for the registration stickers that are in
current use to show the vehicle is properly licensed. In my case processing
took just a little under three weeks.
And I did get my pink slip back.
