LSU Atlanta Chapter gains approval to collect applications for the manufacture of special Georgia license plates

Ready to put LSU on your Georgia license plates?

Georgia Department of Revenue Commissioner Bart L. Graham has approved the LSU Atlanta Alumni Chapter's request for special interest or commemorative license plates in the state of Georgia. We have until April 24, 2010 to collect 1,000 pre-paid applications for the plates. Applicants do not need to be an LSU alum. If we reach 1,000 applications, the state will begin production, and LSU can join Auburn, Florida and Clemson as out-of-state schools with Georgia plates.

With the Tiger football team treating the Georgia Dome like their home field (6-1, three SEC titles) -- and thousands of LSU alumni and fans across the state -- the LSU Atlanta chapter figured it was time we have our own Georgia plates, too.

Here are instructions on how you can apply and help us reach our goal ahead of the deadline:

1. Print and complete an Application (click here to download)
2. Write a Check to: Louisiana State University Atlanta Alumni Chapter
3. Mail the Application along with a $25.00 fee to:

Michele Hieger
275 Leaf Court
Alpharetta GA 30005

Each applicant for the LSU Alumni license plate must submit a Special Interest License Plate application and a $25 manufacturing fee to the Chapter between now and the end of our 2 year period of approval on April 24, 2010. The funds shall be collected by the Chapter and held in a special non-interest bearing account until 1,000 applications have been received. After we receive 1,000 applications for the LSU Alumni license plate, the Chapter shall submit one check to cover all manufacturing fees along with the 1,000 applications for the LSU plate to the Georgia Department of Revenue Motor Vehicle Division. And, in the unlikely event the Chapter does not reach 1,000 paid applications within the 2 year period of approval, the plate will not be manufactured and the Chapter will return all fees collected to our applicants.

Note: License plate numbers will be distributed on a 1st come, 1st serve basis. The first 100 plates (numbers 001 – 100) require an additional charge of $25 (for a total of $50 per plate).

If you have any questions, please e-mail our committee chairwoman, Michele Heiger at: mecatl@comcast.net.

The chapter would like to thank Michele for a dedicated 18 months of effort to gain approval from the Georgia Department of Revenue to accept applications for the plates.

Please also help us spread the word about this opportunity for LSU license plates in Georgia. The faster we receive 1,000 applications, the sooner you can have an LSU plate on your car.
