FAQs
Can I use specialty plates when I purchase permanent registration for my light vehicle or trailer?
Certain sponsored plates are available when permanently registering your vehicle for a one-time contribution amount. However, plates that require a yearly recertification and plates that require a yearly donation fee are not eligible. These plates include: National Guard, reserved armed forces, amateur radio, and some organizational specialty plates.
Can I transfer permanent registration to another owner after I have sold the vehicle that is permanently registered?
No. Remove the permanent plates from any permanently registered vehicle before the new owner takes possession of the vehicle. You are legally and financially liable for those plates. Any damages, traffic tickets, or even criminal activities associated with permanent plates/registration are bound to the original applicant.
How do I renew my vehicle registration?
You can renew your vehicle registration in person at your county treasurer’s office, by mail using the form included in the renewal notice mailed out, or online.
