Transferring a License Plate
When the vehicle for which a plate is issued is disposed of, the owner, if insured, can attach the
plate to another vehicle of like vehicle category and operate such vehicle for period of 20 days
while he is in the process of having such record transferred with the Division of Motor Vehicles.
If the vehicle has not been disposed of, then the plate transfer to another vehicle must be recorded
with the division and a new registration card obtained in advance of operation.
The requirements for transferring a license plate are:
- There is a fee of $15.00 to transfer a license plate from one vehicle to another.
- A license plate always remains with the owner and not the vehicle.
- License plates are transferable if the names upon your License and Title agree. Some examples are:
- License issued John Alexander Doe, title in name of Johnny Alexander Doe, Statement one and
the same and plate is transferable.
- License issued to Mary Ann Doe, title in name of Mary Doe Smith, statement one and same and
plate is transferable.
- License issued to Jr. and title in name of Sr., plate is not transferable unless Sr. is
deceased and Jr. has dropped Jr. as part of his name. Statement one and the same, plate is
transferable.
- License issued to John Allen Doe and title in name of Mary Ann Doe, the plate is not transferable.
When is the $15.00 Transfer Fee not due?
The $15.00 Transfer Fee is Not Due in the following instances:
- Single ownership to joint ownership (as long as one of the names are the same)
- Joint ownership to single ownership (as long as one of the names are the same)
- Registered owner dies and title transferred to surviving spouse. It is important to note that:
- Most special plates (ie. Military, Military Retired, Official, Disabled Veteran, Handicapped) cannot
be transferred to the surviving spouse since the individual qualifies for the plate. However there
are exceptions such as:
Exception: Prisoner of War Plate is transferable to the surviving spouse if she does
not remarry and continues to renew the plate each year.
