EMS
License Plate Program
The Emergency Medical Services Authority is developing a specialty
license plate to honor EMS professionals in California. Anyone
who owns a car in California will be able to get the EMS License
Plate. Creating a specialty plate will support and recognize
healthcare professionals who work in the emergency setting.
The standard EMS License Plate will be $50 initially and $40
for renewals. The use of these funds may be used in any of the
following areas: public information and prevention, recognition
program, a memorial fund, charitable programs or programs to
enhance EMT applicants statewide.
EMSA must collect 7,500 pre-paid applications before the plate
is produced and distributed to applicants. This process could
take as long as a year, which could delay applicants receiving
their plates. If EMSA cannot collect 7,500 applications a full
refund will be given to the applicant. You may download a full
description of the program is HERE.
The First Step
The first step is to design a plate. EMSA is soliciting ideas
for the design of the EMS plate. Please submit your design by
March 15, 2008 to Jamie Kelly at jamie.kelly@emsa.ca.gov.
Please submit only jpg, gif or bmp files. Do not submit zip
files as our e-mail system will not permit that type of attachment.
Criteria for plate design:
- The specialized license plates must contain a message that
publicizes or promotes the state agency, or the mission or
work of a state agency.
- The design cannot exceed 2 by 3 inches to the left of where
the numerical series begins.
- The design cannot be larger than five-eighths of an inch
in height below the numerical series.
- The design is to be limited to 4 colors.
Because of the graphic on the license plate, the license may
contain no more than six characters. |
