The thing is I'm going on holidays to another state for about 3 weeks so I need to register my vehicle if a different state and that's why I'm surrendering my plate; but as I'll be back in less than a month I'd like to have my same plate and I also think the process would be easier than getting a new plate... so can I surrender my plates temporarily?
Yes, you can. See special procedures to surrender plates temporarily here: www.dmvtemporal.com
Based in the example case, I want to know how much refund will I get?
in the example, from the 137.50$ paid and if you surrender your vehicle plates during the first year of the registration, you'll qualify for a 30.25$ refund.
Okey, thanks. Btw, last week we got a plate stolen from one of our vehicles. Do I need to surrender the registration?
Yes, you have to surrender the registration. Please report the plate as stolen, and then surrender the registration.
I'd like to know on how the DMV handles my customized license plates if I surrender it to them?
Fortunately, the DMV will store them unto you come to reinstate them.
Do you know what the rules are for surrendering license plates? What if the vehicle is a motorcycle? Is it enough for me to hand over the plate?
It's not necessary to surrender motorcycle plates, but your motorcycle must be insured if you ride it
Got it! About my temporary surrender, I read in the link you sent me something about a fee. What's that fee if I go to a DMV office to surrender the plate?
DMV offices will charge you a $1 fee to process the surrender
I think I'd rather do that online, so how can I get the FS-6 T receipt if I do the process by mail?
We will mail you your FS-6 T receipt
Awesome! One last question, is it necessary to surrender trailer plates?
