I wonder if they will even need application for it. The people who got Red Stickers with the original expiration date of 1/1/2019 automatically get a new certificate with the new expiration date of 1/1/2022. Maybe they will just mail out the Red Stickers and cert to all the White stickers owners who got the white ones after 1/1/2017.

California red car pool lane decal - waiting for DMV
- Thread starter WSE51
- Start date
Some of the white stickers were applied just less than a month before the red stickers came out. It is kind of weird to pay $22 and then pay another $22 in under a year.
ARB has updated its website to say that it will mail out beginning Oct. 1 to eligible white and green sticker holders application forms for the red sticker.
I also talked to DMV in Sacramento and got confirmation that the issue date of the sticker is the basis of the red sticker eligibility, including the re-issue date of replacement stickers made in 2017-2018 notwithstanding whether the original issue date was pre-2017.

Pre-filled applications with return envelopes. Sounds like they won't charge the application fee again.
Note: White CAV decals are valid only until January 1, 2019. New white CAV decals are no longer issued. Vehicle owners issued white decals on or after January 1, 2017, who are eligible for the red decal, will be mailed, to their address on file, a pre-filled CAV decal application form with instructions and a return envelope. The pre-filled applications are expected to be mailed around October 1, 2018.
Note: Green CAV decals are valid only until January 1, 2019. New green CAV decals are no longer issued. Vehicle owners issued green decals on or after January 1, 2017, who are eligible for the red decal, will be mailed, to their address on file, a pre-filled CAV decal application form with instructions and a return envelope. The pre-filled applications are expected to be mailed around October 1, 2018.

While nothing is impossible, I think that if they are not charging the fee again, they could have just mail you the red stickers. You already signed the application before, there is really no reason to mail you a pre-filled form just to sign it again and mail them back. I am thinking the pre-filled form is an excuse to charge you again to process the paperwork.
I'm optimistic.
Pre-filled is there to take away some of the burden of reapplying again.
Plus, what if you sold or wrecked the car. You get stickers for a car you no longer own and then the new owner applies for stickers too?
I agree with this completely. The State is not going to produce stickers and not charge for them. They also don't want to blindly send out stickers for the reason above - you may not have the car any more.
Actually I did not think about that. Good point! I am now on board withe positive thinking group!

DMV will send you a pre-filled application - they will likely collect the $22 again. As loong as your address is the same.
Send it back - wait 3 months for new stickers - the program ends 12/31/2021 - so nothing will be valid thereafter until they extend the program again for maybe 12 months -

Current legislation authorizes the program through September 2025.

Was going to ask the same question - so I'm bumping it - is this simply typical government of over promise and under deliver?

To bump this - the statute says that, essentially, if your decal was issued in 2017 or 2018, it is valid until 1/1/22. So it is entirely possible the DMV will NOT send new forms to anyone issued a decal in 2017 or 2018. . . . despite what they say.

I have not received my "pre-filled out" application form. If anyone has received it, or if you know of a web page where you can apply and indicate it is a red-to-white swap, please let us know. The only link I have found is here:
https://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/wcm/c...04-12f472ef97b4/reg1000.pdf?MOD=AJPERES&CVID=
and there is no place to indicate it is a swap like that.

I decided to get a jump on this in case the DMV changed it's mind and submitted the app for replacement stickers about a month ago and received new red stickers already. Took less than 4-weeks, I wrote a note on the app stating it was for red stickers to replace existing white stickers.. Bought the car in 2016 and original white stickers issued Jan 2, 2017

Is it too much to ask, for Tesla to repaint my White X to match the new stickers.
Tesla is a California company and it is the State of California that is making the sticker color change.
I currently have a White Model X and like that the stickers match the car.
Now that they are changing the stickers to red, Tesla should repaint my X red to match, otherwise the stickers will no longer match as they promised me when I ordered my car. (J/K)
