Issuing Temporary Tags for Vehicles

When dealing with vehicles that do not have plates, issuing a temporary tag is a good idea to ensure compliance and legality. Here's how you can go about issuing a temporary tag:

Selecting "Substitute Plate"

When processing the issuance of a temporary tag, make sure to select the option for "substitute plate" to indicate that it is a temporary solution until permanent plates are obtained.

Choosing "Retained by Owner"

Another important step in the process is to choose the designation of "retained by owner" when issuing the temporary tag. This indicates that the responsibility for the temporary tag lies with the vehicle owner.

E-Filing Considerations

If you are e-filing today, ensure that the temporary tag is generated before filing any documents. This will help streamline the process and avoid any delays in obtaining necessary documentation.

Expedited Delivery Options

In some cases, there may be an option to have the plates overnighted or expedited for quicker delivery. This can be beneficial if there is an urgent need for the vehicle to be on the road legally.

By following these steps and considerations, you can efficiently issue temporary tags for vehicles without plates, ensuring compliance with regulations and allowing for smooth operations.
