Same here in Minnesota... BUT! Motorcycle vanity plates are available,
but Motorcycle ham plates are not. Emails to congressmen on the DMV
committee have been ignored. Maybe I should try the Governor?

Ditto for Washington State — copy of FCC license required to get call
sign plate. But, at least in WA state, the plate is not considered a
vanity plate so you don’t need to pay the premium charge for a vanity
plate.

In both CA and OR where I have had ham plates, it was necessary to
submit a copy of my ham license showing the requested call sign as part
of the application.

Yes, and I have TWO of them here in Virginia.
One says K3ICH and the other one is K31CH.
They don't know ham calls at the DMV (HI).

Hi All,
My call (W7AQK) is designated as a vanity call even though it is the
original call assigned to me back in 1955. Under past FCC rules, I had
to give it up when I moved to a different call area. That actually
happened twice! The first time I reacquired this call it cost me
nothing! FCC just reassigned it to me as a previous holder. However,
in the early 90’s, when I decided I wanted my original call again, and
I was again in the 7th call district, I had to do so under the vanity
program, and pay extra for it too! Even renewals were subject to a
special fee! Now that has changed, thankfully. However, I still
somewhat resent the fact that my call is considered a vanity call,
even though I am a previous holder of it, and also that, at one time,
I would have been reissued this call by “rights”.
While I’m grousing about “vanity” issues, our Arizona Department of
Transportation allows me to have a “vanity” license plate with my call
on it. I pay an extra $25 for that, presumably to cover the cost of
special processing. However, I have to pay that same $25 every time I
renew! Why??? It doesn’t cost them anything extra once the plate has
been made and issued!!! Seems a bit unfair to me!
Dave W7AQK
