there is one already available you can get and it is just 30 dollars a year added on to your renewal fee that you pay for your vehicle registration

Strangely, the charge was twice that to get new plates on a car from out of state. I've had MM plates in two states so far over the years so when my wife went to get the cars registered she asked. Sixty to get MM plates from the gate, 30 at renewal time. She called me at the office about it. I asked her to go through the line again to double check. Did I mention how excellent my wife is? Same the the next time as well. I'll likely switch to MM plates in a year at renewal time.

Any idea if it's $60 for the plates with a newly licensed car?

I checked the DPS site for these plates. They are $30 for standard and $40 for personalized letter/numbers.

However to get it personalized it seems like its ON TOP of the original $30. So on essence, you are paying a total of $70 for personalized Texas Mason plates.

I had MM plates when I lived in Illinois. The added price is similar to the added price in Texas.

If you want expensive plates try California or Georgia. More digits. If you want cheap plates and it's not your only vehicle NC lets you renew whether you're still a resident or not ...

This post brings up a question for all that are MM's. Ohio offers these plates and OES plates to anyone that pays the fee. Would members of either group be offended if a non-member had them?

I think that would be a yes.....
Yes you are supporting it but if you are not actually a Mason or OES then I think there
DEFINITLY would be a problem, especially if the other car involved in, say, an accident is another Mason then there might be a problem...

Coming from a family of Masons but not being a Mason myself, I concidered the plate as show of support. However, I did notice that it says,"Freemason" on it. To me that said the person with the plate should be a Mason. With that said... my new truck has the standard issue plate and will stay that way until I am accepted as a brother and earned the right and fully understand the MM symbols and tools.

When I went to get my plates in Ohio they did not let me buy them unless I showed by dues card and I did not have it on me so they told me to come back later.

Good to hear from another Ohioan here! I'm roughly 40 minutes north east of columbus.

In Illinois I had to list my Illinois lodge membership. The form was passed to the G Sec office for confirmation before the plate was issued.
