Thinking about getting into DMR.

That's OK. 
One other point to make. You don't really need a unique DMR ID to use DMR. FCC doesn't require it, and it's not a substitute for ID'ing using your call sign. So if you're not in the official database all anyone sees is garbage. Not to mention spoofing DMR ID's. Yeah people do that and since it's not illegal the FCC couldn't care less. 
For those than want to register and get a DMR ID this is the place.

I also have a NXDN ID too BTW through this site.
I also believe people use their DMR ID as the digital ID for P25. 

You require a DMR ID to access amateur radio networks.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but there is a whole lot more to DMR than H.A.M.S radios networks.

for the most part, i have learned to ignore my assigned DMR ID and rely on my unique ID i made up..  As long as it gets programed in all the radios in your group, good to go and harms no one.

As I mentioned it doesn't have to be unique. Using some made-up ID works, which defeats the purpose of having a DMR database in the radio. I've done the later accidentally, used the wrong ID when programming my radios. That happened when a guy on an out of area repeater noticed my call sign didn't match the call sign that showed up on their radio. Oops.

Yea,, when you are interested in only those in your group..  Who cares about those 'other' guys?
