Q: How long after I order my license plate can I expect it to be ready for pick up?

A: The Day Solutions Foundation is still in the license plate development process. We must collect 200 completed applications, with payment, before the plates will go into production. Once we have received the necessary application amount, the applications, emblem use authorization, and payments will be forwarded to the Missouri Department of Revenue to begin production. Production of the plates should take around two months.
