Non-dealer: what to do expiring registration.
Can you please clarify what I should do if the registration is going to expire soon and I am not a dealer?
Renewing Vehicle Registration and Temporary Tags
If your vehicle registration is expiring soon and you are not a dealer, there are steps you can take to ensure that you can continue operating your vehicle legally. Here's what you need to know:
Requesting Temporary Tags
If the plates have been removed from your vehicle, you can request temporary tags. However, if you still have the plates, make sure to put them back on the car.
Obtaining New Plates
If new plates are needed, you will need to submit a REG156 form along with an explanation for issuing substitute plates.
Window Stickers for Temporary Operation
Keep in mind that window stickers allow for 90 days of operation without permanent registration. This gives you some time to get your registration sorted out without risking penalties or fines.
I hope this information helps clarify what steps to take in your situation. If you have any further questions or concerns, don't hesitate to reach out to the appropriate authorities or department responsible for vehicle registrations in your area.
