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

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.

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.
