Default License Plates- What's required where you live?

HEY Everyone!

I couldn't figure out where to post this so I thought here would catch everyone's attention.......

I was pondering on the HASSLES everyone has to go thru getting License Plates/Tags in the US, Canada, Mexico & the rest of the World on their vehicles.

I heard Puerto Rico has it the WORST- it takes almost a week of visiting several department offices (not even locating in the same building!) & waiting literally ALL-DAY IN THOSE LINES before plates are finally issued.

OBVIOUSLY, Personalized Plates cost extra, except in Illinois- There's no-fee as long as you meet the requirements: For Trucks the plate has to start with a number then what ever letters/numbers you want & cars need to end with a number. Its when you want all letters or combination of numbers & letters is when the IL DMV sticks it to you!

LET THE POSTING BEGIN!

ARKANSAS: PROPERTY-TAX, Proof of Insurance
CALIFORNIA: Smog-check/emissions, insurance
CONNECTICUT: PROOF OF INSURANCE, Emissions, & Property-Tax- Did I mention PROOF of INSURANCE?!?
HAWAII: Bill of Lading (if shipped from Mainland), Safety Check,
NO-FAULT Insurance
GUAM: Bill of Lading (if shipped from Mainland), Initial Police
Inspection/Proof of Insurance
ILLINOIS: Just proof of mailing address
(Chicago Metro Area) Emissions & Safety Inspection
(Madison County- ST. Louis Metro EAST) Emissions & Safety
Inspection
MISSOURI: (state-wide) Safety Inspection, PROPERTY-TAX, & Insurance
(ST. Louis Metro Area) Emissions Testing ALSO!
MICHIGAN: Proof of Address & No-Fault Insurance
NEW HAMPSHIRE: Property-Tax & Vehicle Safety Inspection
NORTH CAROLINA: Vehicle Inspections & Insurance (Emissions in Charlotte Area)

Since everyone is mentioning one plate or two plates I'll update this tread-

ONE PLATE- ARKANSAS, ARIZONA, KANSAS, MICHIGAN, OKLAHOMA, GEORGIA, INDIANA, LOUISANA, NORTH CAROLINA, TENNESSE
>
CANADA, Opposite- TWO pl8s req'd only in these Provinces: Ontario, British Columbia, Manitoba & New Brunswick.
