RE: Obtaining an officially-issued Penn State license plate in North Carolina

Update:  2/18/2010:  We are only halfway to the necessary 300 paid applications.

Dear North Carolina Nittany Lions,

About 10 months ago we began the process of obtaining an official Penn State alumni association North Carolina license plate.  Up to this point we have only received half of the 300 applications needed to move forward.

There are more than 7,500 Nittany Lion Alumni statewide in North Carolina.  We need a minimum of 300 paid applications for the state to establish the PSU license plate. Fans and family can purchase the plate as well as alumni.

You currently pay $28 to $33per year for your N.C. license plate registration. The Penn State license plate will be an extra $25 a year, which will be distributed to the National Heritage Trust Fund and the Special Registration Plate Fund (part of the Highway Fund, which among other things, beautifies N.C. highways).

More information on costs and fees can be found in the Frequently Asked Question sheet. These charges are established by legislative action in the state of North Carolina and, like all laws, are subject to change.

Personalizing your Penn State license plate is $30 per year in addition to the standard registration fee and the collegiate license fee.

The Triangle Chapter of the Penn State Alumni Association has volunteered to help coordinate the Penn State University efforts to establish the specialized PSU plate.
 
The faster we reach 300 paid applicants, the faster the plates hit the road.

To register for the Penn State University license plate, please complete the application which can be found online at http://www.trianglepsu.org/license/app.pdf 

See below for online submission process.

You may  mail your check [made payable to the "Triangle Penn State Chapter"] and completed application form to :

Triangle Penn State Chapter
P.O. Box 1215
Morrisville, NC 27560-1215

All applications will be collected and the monies held in a special Penn State license plate account by the Triangle Penn State Chapter.

Please include your email address and phone number along with your application so that we can contact you if necessary. An email will be sent to you to confirm that your form and money have been received. Email will also be used for follow up communication  if necessary.

If your information  changes before we submit the forms and money to the NC DMV, please send an  email to license@trianglepsu.org with your new information and it will be changed on your form(s). Also,if you move out of state before the application is processed by the DMV, simply request a refund of your Penn State license plate fee and we will refund your payment minus a $5 processing fee.

We would like you  to keep in mind the accompanying artwork is proposed until verified as official by the NC DMV.  However, the artwork as shown conforms to guidelines the NC DMV has given to us, and to the guidelines the university has for use of their logo.

We have included the original Authorization letter from the Penn State licensing  department sent to the NC DMV.

We hope you will support Penn State and support this license plate endeavor and make Penn State University the first university from the commonwealth of PA to establish a collegiate license plate in North Carolina.
