At this point, even if I reapply, if they take another 5 months to get HOV sticker I’ll get stickers in Dec 2021, might as well wait til 2022 to apply for HOV stickers to get 4 full years.Mailed application January 31st, still no check cashed yet!

One downside of the (inevitable) success of all-electric cars will, I guess, be the likely end of the HOV sticker program. We saw how it ended for hybrid cars. Is it possible that HOV stickers for EVs will be over after 2025?
Mailed application on April 21, check was cashed yesterday (June 25).
DMV is slow in general and there is probably very little staff or resources devoted to this program (other EV programs like CVRP also have ridiculous processing times, although at least there is tracking of the progress).A two month delay is, imo, unnecessary and inexcusable. Question is, what to do about it?
There are two fundamental problems with the DMV (actually Air Resources Board) HOV sticker program:
- The unnecessarily lengthy delay in receiving stickers.
- An inexcusable lack of communication about application status.
I mean...this was released in 2018 and I just did it last night (better-half was rear-ended so needed new decals again). Aside from the fact that the paint underneath the sticker didn't fade compared to the surrounding areas, it did what was necessary.Whaaat... I got my car in March, got plates probably in April and got my decals last week. Now they sit in the envelope until I figure out the best way to get to stick on the bumper without using adhesive lol.

We’ll got my answer from DMV, somehow in March when I refi my Tesla, that triggered some reason why the DMV cancelled my application? So now I have to reapply, at this point it’s 90 day turn around so wouldn’t get my stickers til October so I’ll be waiting til 2022 to applyAt this point, even if I reapply, if they take another 5 months to get HOV sticker I’ll get stickers in Dec 2021, might as well wait til 2022 to apply for HOV stickers to get 4 full years.
That's weird. My timeline was: Mailed application on April 21, check was cashed June 25, decals received July 6.Check and application Mailed Jan 2... check was finally cashed Jun 2!!! And still nothing in the mail. No decals. Not sure what to do.
Check and application Mailed Jan 2... check was finally cashed Jun 2!!! And still nothing in the mail. No decals. Not sure what to do.
So I called them (Special Processing Unit at (916) 657-8035). They said my application was processed late May (and the check was showing as cashed on Jun 2nd as I said). All he said I can do is fill out the REG 1000 form again and mail it in checking replacement stickers and not received.As iamnid said, at this time (mid-2021) it should only take about 2 months (and that is long enough as it is) for your check to be cashed, and another 7 to 14 days to receive the stickers. Sounds like something is wrong. If I had to guess, I would say your stickers were mailed but you did not receive them for some reason. Call DMV in Sacramento! First step is to find out if and when your stickers were mailed to you. They come in an oversized envelope along with the CAV certificate (needed for getting a FasTrak CAV flex toll tag).

At this rate I'm lucky if I get the stickers this year......................................... god damn it.
He did say follow up applications go faster, he said the queue for that is only a few weeks.Bummer. Maybe some mail thief riding around with your HOV stickers?
I hear followup applications go faster. Hope, for your sake, that is true.
