snoopy license plateDo you like Snoopy?
Of course you do!

Do you like museums?
Of course you do!

Therefore, please click here to sign up to show support for a personalized Snoopy California license plate. The DMV requires that there are at least 7,500 pre-paid plates before it will issue a new personalized design. Once there are 7,500 people that have signed up on this site, they’ll ask people for $50 towards payment for the plate. Proceeds benefit California’s awesome museums.

You can pay a bit extra and get a personalized plate. I think I’ll pass on that; I prefer anonymity. So far, so good on that front. I was in a line of five cars the other day waiting to turn left, and four of them were my model and color. Doesn’t get more anonymous than that.

But I’ll make an exception for a Snoopy license plate. I’ve liked Snoopy for so long that my Teddy bear that I got when I was three years old is named Snoopy.    :)


Here are the FAQs from the website:

Q: Okay, so what do I need to do?

A: You just have to tell us you’re interested in a Snoopy license plate. This pre-registration won’t cost you a thing, and only requires your name and email address.

Q: I sign up. Then what happens?

A: When we have enough California drivers signed up, you’ll be contacted again to complete an application and pay $50 per vehicle towards an official Snoopy license plate – or a bit more if you want it personalized. The DMV requires 7,500 pre-paid registrants to begin production on the plate.

Q: But what if you can’t find 7,500 people?

A: Last we checked, California has 23,000,000 (that’s 23 MILLION) registered drivers. We’re pretty sure we can find 7,500 Snoopy and museum fans out there. If we can’t, you’ll get your fee back.

Q: So why is Snoopy supporting California museums?

A: Snoopy, being the community-minded beagle he is, understands that museums are for everybody.

Q: And why should I support California museums?

A: Museums are truly special places, community forums where families, friends and neighbors can meet, learn and discover together. We’re lucky in California, because our state has an incredible variety of great museums that serve a truly diverse range of interests and specialties.

Q: Who is the California Association of Museums?

A: The California Association of Museums is an organization dedicated to building a brighter future for California museums and the communities they serve, through education, outreach and support. You can find out more about CAM here.

Q: And who is Snoopy?

A: Good Grief!
