Check for availability of personalized plates

[theraymondguy]

Is there a reliable website that will tell you if a selected personalized plate is available? Some time ago I found one on the MTO's website but it was a PITA and didn't work.

Thanks!

Not too sure who I called. I spoke to somebody at the MTO. Very helpful. I told him what I wanted and he said, No, went through about 6 different variations then he said OK. Did it all on the phone. Talk to a human. Still possible, even nowdays. Surprise, surprise.

The MTO website is easily navigated for personalized plates. I tells you automatically if the plate you want is free or not.

Awesome, I just ordered "kllrr" for my KLR. Pricey though

I'm afraid I'm a bit guilty of not double checking my homework. The website has been revised and is much easier to use than prior.

Thanks for the enlightenment and ideas!

I had personalized plates for my car at the time, 4 letters. As I don't have a car or any 4 wheeled vehicle anymore, I figured surely they could re-issue the plates for my motorcycle for a fee, and it would be win - win. For whatever reason the MTO's archaic systems won't allow them to change the plate classification from passenger vehicle to motorycle so I could use them with my bike . The lady I spoke to on the phone when I was inquiring about it had no good explanation why it couldn't be re-classified, just that they can't. I was pretty dissapointed

Price is ridiculous. Could buy myself a 5th helmet with the money.

Why is it ridiculous? You're giving away your money to the government who has prisoners stamping these for free.

:lmao:

Tempted. Go for it. It`s only money. Use it and enjoy it.

Do it. Money comes and goes, personalised license plates say "because I can"

Personalized plates are more easily remembered. That's good for the parking lot. Not so good when you're making a getaway.

Right you are. What about Road Watch reports?

I thought it was cheap.. In other countries like NZ and Aus custom plates are worth 1000s of dollars. Asians pay a fortune for 8 or H. In those countries you can resell your plates on.

Btw. In 2002 you had to speak to someone in the phone and they'd look up the available plates. I remember thinking how backwards that was....for a big country like Canada coming from NZ where we had an online lookup. Nice to see now in 2014 there is an online lookup.
