Transferring Disabled Handicap Plates to a New Motorcycle

If you have disabled handicap plates and are looking to transfer them to your new motorcycle, this guide will help you navigate the process smoothly.

Required Form

The primary form needed for transferring your disabled handicap plates is the REG 17A form. This form allows you to reassign your existing plates from one vehicle to another.

Alternative Forms

The DMV also accepts the REG 17 form in addition to the REG 17A for plate reassignment. You can choose either of these forms based on your preference or availability.

DVM Fees

Please note that all standard DMV fees will apply during this transfer process. It’s advisable to check with your local DMV office for specific fee details related to plate transfers.

E-Filing Option

If your disabled plate number ends with a certain character (typically at the end of the sequence), you may have an option for e-filing, which can streamline and simplify the transfer process. Check with your local DMV if you're eligible for this option.

Steps To Transfer Your Plates:

1. Obtain REG 17A or REG 17 Form: Download or request either of these forms from your local DMV website or office.
2. Fill Out The Form: Complete all required sections accurately, ensuring that all information matches both vehicles involved in the transfer.
3. Select Payment Method: Prepare payment for any applicable fees as specified by your local DMV guidelines.
4. : Submit the completed REG 17A (or REG 17) along with payment through mail or in person at a designated DMV location. If eligible, consider using e-filing options available online.
