California DMV - Plates & HOV Stickers
- Thread starter MikeK
- Start date
CAV decals appear to take 3 months to process. 9/2023 purchase, got plates first week of October and applied, got burgundy stickers last weekend.
I expected to get the hideous green ones but am happy I got burgundy.

The current burgundy as well we the prior two generation (green and yellow) stickers run through Sept 30 2025. That's a fair bit of time.

I submitted the paperwork January 22, 2024. Still waiting. Check has not been cashed.
It will be interesting to see who gets the decal first. You or me.
Here’s the link.
Clean Air Vehicle Decals - California DMV
If you drive a vehicle that meets certain emissions standards and other criteria, you may be able to get Clean Air Vehicle (CAV) decals and a CAV decal identification (ID) card, which allow single occupancy use of High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV, or carpool) lanes.

My payment has gone through (paid with Apple Pay and I have a receipt from the DMV)…as awful as it is to say, I bet I get the decals first.I submitted the paperwork January 22, 2024. Still waiting. Check has not been cashed.

If anyone recently sent a check in the mail, I think I’d prob just go ahead and resubmit online…you’ll prob get processed faster that way and when they do get to your mailed in check in a few months they will prob realize your vin has already been assigned decals and not proceed with the paper process
Totally agree. So I went online just now to apply online and hopefully get the decal now instead of waiting for my paper application that I sent in a month ago to get processed, this happened. Give me a friggin break!!! Get it together DMV!!! I will check it again and hope to get lucky.
In this day and age, you shouldn’t need downtime for maintenance but even if you do, who schedules downtime in the middle of the work day!?
The new status message on the page reads:
“This application is undergoing scheduled maintenance. It will be available on March 8, 2024. We appreciate your patience. ”
March 8th…that’s a long maintenance window. I think if the app I managed were down that long I’d be fired 7 times.

How are people doing it online? When I enter in VIN and (temp) license plate number, it won't let me go through the process saying this:
Error: This vehicle is not in DMV records.
If you recently purchased the vehicle from a dealership, wait until you receive its registration card before applying for a Clean Air Vehicle Decal.

You can also call the DMV and see if your permanent plate has been assigned yet (ask them what it is of course). That is what is needed to have everything match up.
