Misuse or failure to maintain license validity can result in penalties and the surrender of the plates.
Individuals holding an unexpired technician, general, conditional, advanced, or extra class amateur radio license issued by the FCC are eligible.
Applicants must provide proof of an unexpired amateur radio license to the secretary of state.
Yes, besides the regular registration fee, applicants pay a $2.00 service fee, which is credited to a transportation fund.
Using the plate on a vehicle other than the one it was issued for is a misdemeanor, and the plate must be surrendered to the secretary of state.
