I just came home from school and I noticed an SUV in front of me with a Hawaii licence plate. Did they just bring their plates over here or the whole car, plates included?
PS: I wasn't born in the US so I don't know what is going on...

Some people do transport their cars, but there can also be cases where a resident of Hawaii has frequent business on the mainland and can register a car in Hawaii (since they live there) but never actually have the car in that state. The only issue I can see would be the inspection policies in the state, but they may accept other state inspections.
I live in MD, and I see Hawaii tags a fair amount in the DC area, so I am assuming the Congressmembers have cars registered in Hawaii that are just kept here.

Hawaii License Plates

I lived in Hawaii for years and when I relocated to Miami I shipped my car. Florida allowed you 60-90 days to register you car in state. Since Florida only has only one license plate I kept the Hawaii plate on the front until I moved to California. In places like Washington DC, MD, and VA you will see them more often as military personnel and their family are relocated back to the main land.

If you purchase a car in Hawaii and you have to move to the mainland while still owing money on the loan. You must either sell the car, most of the time for a loss, or pay to have it shipped to the mainland and keep paying for it. When you first arrive on the mainland you have 90 days to change the registration and tags to the state you now reside in.

Ca was sold and registered in Hawaii. Then transferred to the US mainland via a boat.

Could be a member of the military stationed in the mainland. Its much cheaper to ship your car than buy a new one. military members can keep the tag from the state they call home.

I have friends that moved to Panama. They had their cars shipped to them via ocean liner. They were able to keep their regular plates for up to 6 months on a visitors pass.

Yeah, they probably came over here by boat or something; it's much cheaper than buying a whole new car.

They can cover over by boat or cargo plane.
The whole vehicle has to come over, not just the plates.
