I just sold my vehicle, what do I do with my plates?
If you sold your vehicle & do not plan to replace it; turn your plates in within 6 months of the date of sale and we will apply for a refund of any credit, $10 or more.

If you sold your vehicle and plan to replace it within the next 6 months; you may use those plates on your next vehicle. Any credit, $10 or more, will be applied to the registration on your new vehicle.

If you have turned in your leased vehicle, you will need to fill out a Claim for Refund and a Lease Termination along with your plates. You can then apply for a refund as long as there is $10 credit or more left.

If you moved out of state, you will need to fill out a claim for refund and also send in a current copy of your out of state registration for each vehicle. You can then apply for a refund as long as there is a $10 credit or more left.

The Claim for Refund and Lease Termination form can be found under the forms link.
