No. DMV ties the insurance to the license plates. If you still have the plate, then the state wants to see active insurance. This is the only way they know you still have the vehicle. In Florida, you can turn in the plates and receive a receipt for them. This will allow you to obtain new plates at no charge when you get another vehicle. You can also sell them back for up to 100.00 and pay for a new plate later when you purchase a new car.

Not even 1 if you intent is to sell the vehicle to make a profit. But if you are selling a vehicle you have bought, put in your name, and been driving for years then you are not going to make a profit on it so it is legal to sell. Go out and buy a vehicle and turn around and sell it at a profit and then you need a used car dealers license. It is all about your intent.
Legally if you sell 1 vehicle for profit you must have a dealers license. It does not matter if it is an antique car of 1 year old car. You can however sell up to 5 cars without a license if you are not making a profit on these sales.
You could transfer them to another vehicle, you could keep them as a keepsake, you could allow someone else to transfer them to their vehicle, you could have them deregistered then sell them (US plates are something of a novelty in other parts of the world).
If you trade cars, you can move your plate to the new car.
