There are no temporary tags, per se, but you can run with temps from your home state until they expire. If you are moving to California, you must begin the registration process within 10 days. If you want to register an out-of-state vehicle, you must get it titled in your home state first.
When you do begin the registration process, you will receive a temporary registration in the form of a little red piece of paper that you tape to your back window. It is good until the last day of the month indicated on the paper, usually one or two months. Then you must smog it to get your permanent tags.
To show your vehicle is street legal while waiting for permanent tags.
Temporary tags are available at your local DMV office. You must obtain these tags before continuing with your registration. Please be advised that you will need proof of insurance for your vehicle.
Yes
30 days, I believe (with temporary tags from Dealer)
You must go to your states motor vehicle office to receive temporary tags to transport a vehicle. You should take any documentation you have with you and proof of identification and you will need insurance. They can last anywhere from 10 to 30 days.
Yes if it parked in a public area such as a parking lot or the street.
You simply go to the dealership, fill out the necessary paperwork, then buy it. If you're buying it from a dealership, they'll normally process the registration, title, and tags for you. If not, you have the vehicle inspected at a California inspection station, bring the inspection report and bill of sale to a motor vehicle registration office, and the personnel working at the office guide you from there.
Yes.
no, you should have temporary tags
You can only get one temporary tag for you car in Ohio. The temporary tag expires in 30 days.
No. Everyone that need tags for a vehicle do not own the car. You only get the title if you own the vehicle. You will, however, need your registration.
Go the the motor vehicle department. They sell temp tags from 10 to 60 days. I could be wrong about the amount of days, but that is where you'll get the temp tags. (Different user): I believe that if you purchase a car from an individual/private seller, temporary tags will not be required. You'll likely go to the department of motor vehicles, file paperwork, pay fee's (title, tax, tags) (110-160), and receive a "hard" license plate of common issuance. If you special order a license tag, request a special emblem/specialized group tag, or live in a town where a "FULL SERVICE DMV" is not available, then the probable cause of a temporary tag may play into effect.
