So back in post 2 of this series, I went over how I got this message from the MVA.
Our records show a refund check in the amount of $160.50 was issued to you in error on May 21, 2025 for Tag Return. As a result, $160.50 is due by June 20, 2025 in order to avoid future suspension of your 2015 HOND.
So, I owed the MVA $160.50 because they fucked up and refunded me when they shouldn’t have. Well today, I went in to pay it.
Logging into the kiosk, I had an interesting surprise. I owed the MVA, nothing… What.
Getting back home, I dug for the manual fee payment lookup page on the MVA website. Checking both misc fees, and flag fees1, both showed that I owed, nothing.
I’m thinking, that since my custom plates were in the end denied, they are just letting my keep the refund check. So I cashed it.
Good ol’ MVA.

Annoyingly, those pages use different authentication methods. Neither use myMVA login, one wanted my DL number, and the other my title number. ↩︎
