The chapter must receive 1,000 applications – and the accompanying $25 fee with each application – before license plates are made available in 2008.
To begin the registration process, University alumni and supporters from across the state should download an application from www.atlabama.com.

“University alumni and boosters who live in Georgia can now express their support for the University’s academic and athletic excellence with this specialty license plate,” said Schuyler Hoynes, chapter president. “With more than 30,000 University alumni in the Metro Atlanta, our goal is to receive the 1,000 registrations before the Oct. 22 Alabama-Georgia football game.”
After the Atlanta alumni chapter receives and processes the 1,000 applications, the chapter will submit a single $25,000 check and all 1,000 applications to the state who then initiates the manufacturing of the license plates. Once the plates are available, they will be mailed to all applicants or applicants will receive a notice to pick up the tag at their local tag office.
