AQ and AV antique plate registrations now require a notarized statement that the car is roadworthy and will meet year of manufacture safety standards. Without it, you don't get the plates.

All that crap we went thru and I still see clunkers running around with antique plates. I still say it was about revenue, and I still think Mr. Marshall will be back again and again until he gets antique plates back in personal property tax rolls. And I still think he lied to my face in a church sanctuary last fall when I asked him point blank if that was his ultimate plan.

The man is a consummate politician. Fred Astaire was no better at dancing around issues.

Wrong.

The law was changed for 2008 eliminating the requirement for the form VSA-10B to be notorized. Here is a link to the current antique registration law, 46.2-730 and form VSA-10B.

Then that proves beyond all doubt it was revenue driven. [img]<>/mad.gif[/img]

Meanwhile explain section E which is still in 46.2-730 (which I had to invoke on my local County Commissioner of Revenue just last week).

E. Owners of motor vehicles and trailers applying for registration pursuant to subsections A, B and C shall submit to the Department, in the manner prescribed by the Department, certifications that such vehicles or trailers are capable of being safely operated on the highways of the Commonwealth.

Wasn't that the original intent of notarizing the VSA10B?

Don't get me wrong. I won't argue if I don't have to go find and pay a Notary every time I register one of the cars. All I want is a little consistency, and quit changing the rules in the middle of the game.


There is no damn good reason for antique car license plates to have become the political football they have the last few years in Virginia, and it is the same people driving it every time.

Yes, its all about the "Benjamins."

Here is the link to HB52 that created the current version of 46.2-730. Note the deletions in Section E. Notarizing the form served no real purpose. You are still certifying that your car is safe to drive.

For information on Virginia laws affecting the automotive hobbyest, you should look at the Virginia Association of Car Councils, http://www.vaacc.org/. I am president of The Northern Virginia Car Club Council, http://www.novaccc.org.

From a PA resident

This was quite a while back, but I bought my 1933 Chevrolet back in 1971 and got the PA Purple plate on the car from the previous owner.

I don't know how close you live to Harrisburg, but your best bet is to visit the PennDOT building off of I-83 in HBG.

I bought a 2003 BMW Z3 last spring from a woman and her middle initial was wrong on the title. Since the lending bank had the title she did not know of the error until they sent it to her. The notary told her she would have to submit paperwork to have her name corrected prior to notarizing the sale even though the address and everything else was correct.

Instead, her and I met at PennDOT and completed the sale in several minutes. We did not even need to have anything notarized since we were both there and had ID.

When I registered my Triumph TR4 last year no inspection was required, all PennDOT wanted was photos of both sides and the front and back. Again I went to the PennDOT building in HGB.
