It's possible that a few remain, or re-become, available after the initial rush. That's what I meant by 'luck and happenstance' in getting one of a remaining handful.
Can't hurt to work your way to a good source and keep asking every few weeks. But as "luck is a matter of careful preparation" you would have to be ready to jump like a frog on a griddle.

I was told that the DMV keeps a few aside for screwups as well as some come back as "return to sender, address unknown." Additionally, the DMV audits for any nonsense like dealers trying to get 5 of them or whatever the number they want.
As this point, they've probably sorted through all of them, so keep trying.

Plates?
For those of you in the know, when in this process do we get out standard plates?
What if we want vanity plates? When would that be?
Thanks,

It may vary by office, but the Santa Clara DMV handed me my standard plates the day I turned all of my paperwork in.

Yours may be a typical experience. I haven't done a standard registration over the counter in decades; always let the dealer handle it and just waited for plates in the mail.

Same here. Got my plates right after handing all the paperwork in on my final visit. I then ordered my personalized plates online and got them in about three months.  |

If you know you're going to want vanity plates, order them in advance and you won't have to wait for either them or standard plates. They'll just assign your waiting plates when you complete the reg. You have to do everything at one DMV office, though, so that the plates are there when you finish the process.
