How to Use Your Current Plate Number for a New Vehicle
If you have recently purchased a new vehicle and are in the process of registering it, you may need to use your current plate number until hard plates are issued. This guide will help you understand how to correctly fill out the registration form using your existing plate number.
Step 1: Locate Your Title Document
The first step is to find your vehicle's title document. This document contains important information about your vehicle, including its current plate number.
Step 2: Identify the Current Plate Number
Your title should display a section that lists the current plate number associated with the vehicle. For example, if your current plate number is 93009A4, make sure this is clearly noted as it will be needed for registration purposes.
Step 3: Fill Out the Registration Form
When completing the registration form for your new vehicle, look for a field labeled “Current Plate Number” or something similar. Here’s what you need to do:
- Acknowledge Temporary Status: Understand that since you're registering a new vehicle without hard plates yet, you'll be using an existing temporary or previous plate number.
- Insert Current Plate Number: Enter
93009A4, or whatever your identified current plate number is from Step 2 into this field on the form. - Add Additional Information: Ensure all other required fields on the registration form are filled out accurately before submission.
Step 4: Submit Your Registration Form
Tips and Considerations
- If you're unsure about any part of filling out forms related to vehicles, consider reaching out directly to local DMV offices for assistance.
- Keeps copies of all submitted documents and receipts until you receive confirmation regarding hard plates issuance.
This simple process ensures that while waiting for permanent plates, you're able to legally register and operate
