A vehicle registration period is for 12 consecutive months and any portion thereof. Vehicles registered in August would expire on July 31. If the decree does not award the vehicle to you, a properly assigned title will be required. In the case of a deceased spouse, the ownership will be determined as to whether there is a will, trust, etc. Contact the county tax assessor-collector's office or a VTR Regional Office for help.
State law makes the fee structure for passenger vehicles different from that of trucks.
Passenger vehicle registration is determined by the manufacturer's model year. There will be a charge in addition to the regular registration fee. The amount charged for personalized and special plates will vary according to the type ordered. In some cases, the applicant must meet eligibility requirements before applying for special plates. Follow the instructions on the forms.
