It depends on what state you live in. In Florida, you keep your tag and transfer it to your new vehicle.
Yes.
When you sell a used car in California the plates stay on the car. After selling aÊused vehicle in California a title transfer needs to be done.
Unless policies and procedures have changed in the recent past, plates stay with the vehicle.
I would keep the plates and transfer to the other car. Either way you will pay more. One of the things that is not clear is that if you are giving up the first car for another car or if you will have two cars. If you are selling the first car don't pay for the new registration and have the new owner pay for it when they buy it. If you are keeping it you will have to pay for the registration and keep the plates because the new car will need both.
If you have plates on it, and you intend to keep those plates, then yes.
If you want to keep it registered and keep the plates, yes.
License plates can be kept and transferred to the car you are buying or you can return them and get new ones.
30 days!
Keep it in a secure place like a bank safety deposit box or fire proof file box in your home. DO NOT KEEP IT IN THE CAR! You will not need it in the car at any time. The title is only needed when buying, selling or registering the car.
You can drive a vehicle home from Illinois to Indiana with temporary plates. It is important to keep your purchase paperwork with you during the travel.
No. The plates need to be on the same car they are registered to, so you can't go take the plates off a car of a dead person and put them on a different car. Let's say you inherit the car so you would go have the car put in your name and the plates would stay on the car but in your name. If you took the plates off a car to use on another car that would be stealing the plates. This could result in arrest.
Call your state DMV for state specific advice. Maybe the repoman just doesnt know the law. What don't call a local attorney?????..No they cannot keep your plates!!!!!!! Report the plates as stolen to the police and sue the LENDER in court.They are not allowed to keep your plates under any circumstances. A repo guy who doesn't know the law......... imagine that??????
