When you surrender your vehicle plates to the DMV , you may be eligible to transfer the remaining registration credit to another vehicle you want to register, or get a refund for the registration fee. You get a refund or registration transfer credit for your vehicle plate fee title certificate fee you paid when you registered the vehicle any other fee or tax 

Transfer credit 
If you transfer your remaining registration to another vehicle , your new registration will expire the same day as your old registration. You can only use the transfer credit for a new original registration. You cannot use it for a registration renewal. 

Refunds 
Here is an example to show how your refund amount is determined. You paid $137.50 to register your vehicle for two years. The amount you paid included $62.50 for the two years of the registration $31.25 per year, $50.00 for the title certificate and $25.00 for the vehicle plates. You surrender the vehicle plates during the first year of the registration , and you qualify for a refund of $30.25. This is a refund of the $31.25 fee for the second year of the registration with the $1 processing fee subtracted. There is no refund of other fees or taxes. 

How can I get my refund (if I m eligible)? 
When you surrender your plates , your Receipt FS-6 T indicates if you are eligible to receive a refund. If you are eligible for a refund and you do not request a transfer receipt, we will process your refund automatically and you will receive it in the mail in several weeks. If you are not eligible for a refund or you request a transfer receipt , the DMV office issues a Receipt FS-6 T that you can use to transfer the registration to another vehicle.
