New Car PlatesAny time you purchase a car from a dealership, you pay for the registration as part of the vehicle sale price. The only time a car will come with no license plates if the vehicle is sold NEW. The registration fee that you pay does cover your license plates because they are a part of the registration fee. Once you drive the car off the lot it'll take about 6 - 8 weeks before you receive your plates and tags in the mail. The dealer will handle all necessary paperwork for you. Should you choose custom/vanity plates, those are NOT covered, and it's up to you and you alone to go to the DMV and apply and acquire them. New car plates are the good old fashioned generic random number/letter combination.

The answer to this question is completely inaccurate. I sell cars and you do not pay for your tag there. You pay for the people in accounting to go down to the dmv and submit your info so you get your title in the mail, and so you can go down and buy your tag. And the only tag you will get will be a temp 30 day tag that is written in permant marker on the back to show the date when you need to get one. Do your research before you make someone uneducated and make them expect somethign from the dealer that is false.

I personally have no idea what the "dealer" is talking about right above me but the original poster is correct. Your taxes, title and license fee does cover your plates. The dealer issues you the 3-month (90 days) temporary license plate formerly called a Temporary Registration Permit (TRP). That is the only way you can legally operate the vehicle before your new plates arrive. Your new permanent plates will either be mailed to your home or to the dealership who will call you for pickup. I just purchased a new car Monday so you can take my word for it. If anything is different then maybe it's location specific. I am in Chicago, IL.

Are two license plates required in Missouri?

Yes, both a front and a back license plate is required by law. Unless: Ryhed wrote: LICENSE (REGISTRATION) PLATES - Missouri law requires that license plates be securely fastened to a vehicle, and that all parts of the plates are visible and clean for view or inspection by any law enforcement entity. If you have frames around your license plates, the Missouri State Highway Patrol reminds you that the frames must not cover any part of the plates. If you receive two plates, you must place one on the front and one on the back of your vehicle. If you have a trailer or a motorcycle, you will only receive one plate, which must be on the back of your vehicle. If you have a truck licensed in excess of 12,000 pounds, you will only receive one plate, which must be placed on the front of the truck. If you want a second plate, it must be specifically requested. You must place the original plate on the front of your truck and if a second plate is issued, it must be placed on the rear of the truck.
