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.
Update as of 4/1/22 - We have collected the $25,000 required to begin the manufacturing process. If you wish to be one of the first 1000 residents to own a tag, you can still make payment for your manufacturing fee here.
