How it works
Submit your Payment
A $25.00 manufacturing fee per tag must be submitted via our secure payment process.
Payment will include minor processing fees
An additional $3.00 processing fee per tag is required. This fee is required to cover payment processing fees, and administrative costs to manage funds received.
Along with Payment please Vote
With your payment, you are given opportunity to VOTE for the top design pick. All 3 designs were created by the Tuskegee University Marketing Department. There is ONE vote per Tag purchase. If you purchase 3 tags your vote counts as 3 votes.
Be Patient
The State of Georgia MVD requires payment for 1000 Georgia Tuskegee University Tags from the Specialty Issue Tag Sponsor (ATAC). Therefore, we MUST receive the $25.00 payment (plus fees) for 1000 tags before the GA MVD will produce the tags and make the tags available for your pickup. We will keep you updated on how close we are to collecting the fees for the 1000 tags needed to meet this requirement. Bookmark this site and check the progress bar.
