Cyber Monday is also low tag Monday for Delaware motorists seeking the Delaware status symbol.
Starting today, a limited number of five-digit license plates will be made available to the public at the Delaware City, Dover, Wilmington and Georgetown DMV locations on a first-come, first serve basis.
Customers will need to purchase, from the DMV location they are visiting, a black and white porcelain or stainless steel reproduction plate manufactured by the Delaware Historic Plate Company .
The Delaware DMV has partnered with DHPC in an effort to provide increased customer service, while also raising revenues with 20 percent of the purchase price of the reproduction plates coming to the DMV. Plate numbers cannot be reserved in advance, and the promotion will run only as long as supplies last of the low number plates.
Here’s how to get a tag:
-Customers will be give up the current license plate number registered to their vehicle.
– Customers must pay applicable transfer fees in addition to the purchase cost of the reproduction plate, currently $110 for either a stainless steel or porcelain plate.
– Customers having title to their vehicles should bring their driver’s license, vehicle title, vehicle mileage, and insurance information in order to complete the plate change process.
– Customers needing to obtain their title from their lien holder will need to go to the nearest participating DMV office and put a five-digit plate on hold. They must obtain an “MV35 form” from DMV and send it to their lien holder to obtain the title. The title will be mailed to DMV, which will contact the customer when it arrives. At that time, the five_digit plate can be put on the vehicle and a reproduction plate can be ordered.
– No telephone or email requests will be taken. All transactions must be completed in person at the participating DMV office locations.
Low number tags have been known to fetch six-figure prices for the lowest numbers and have spawned a small industry of plate brokers and a plate maker.
