Absolutely ZERO fuss this time getting renewal. Walked up to the counter, asked for a rewnal.. she said $78 please. Boom!!
I asked her if she knew why the online system wouldn't work for me? no idea she said, let me ask my Supervisor.
He insists it's because it's a "custom vehicle" plate. But.. I don't know he really knows that for sure.
Worse case.. I have to go into the tax office every year. I can live with that.. I guess. Kinda annoying.. but.. oh well.
