    Received in the mail today. Roughly 1 month turn around. You can just apply for it. On the application form I checked: damaged. You don't need to mail the old green ones back. The places to stick decals are the same. You are welcome.

    Dose it matter when you purchased your prime?

    No. It only matters when you got your sticker.

    What is the vehicle exhaust standard of the Prime? How do you get the old labels off the car?

    TZEV. I just peel off whatever I can and stick the new ones on top of the old one.

    I am planning to purchase a new Prius Prime towards the end of 2018, and apply for the new sticker on 1/1/2019. In this case, I think the sticker should be valid through 1/1/2023. Is this correct?
    Hopefully the turn around time is still about 1 month at that time.

    I applied and received my new red decal in July 2018 and is valid until 01/01/2019. Can I reapply and get new ones that expire 01/01/2022?

    Yikes! Guess I won't be reapplying before next January. So much for the work-around to get stickers earlier by claiming they were damaged/stolen!

    I have the red HOV sticker, and I also just received my new certificate that expires 1/1/2022. Did not have to reapply, as it was sent automatically by the DMV.

    Did you get a new certificate with new red decal or just new decal?
    Thanks,

    Yes, if you have not previously requested an HOV sticker on your vehicle (ever), by waiting until January 1, 2019 your sticker will be good an extra year until 1/1/2023. Verified through a call to the DMV about 2 weeks ago. Since I had to have my 2017 Prime totaled, I just purchased a 2018 and will be waiting a few months to gain the extra year.
