I was pulled over the other day and hadn't yet paid my registration on my new car. It had been past the thirty one day paper plate period. Needless to say I got a ticket for no registration and was sent on my way. I got my car registered the next day. I was wondering if I could take my registration to the hearing and it be dismissed or should I just pay the $125 and be done with it?

You have a legal right to dispute your case in Court. You do have two options: DENY the citation (meaning you did not do the violation) or ADMIT WITH MITIGATING CIRCUMSTANCES (wich means you did it but had a good reason).
By all means go to court and dispute your ticket. You may be lucky.

Again...sounds like a state issue. It also depends upon the judge, etc. I live in WI and given the circumstances you listed, there is a good chance (in WI) that if you have a clean record (and the judge is in a good mood), he might NOT charge the fine; he MIGHT charge the fine or he MIGHT decrease the fine. However, WI is all about anything that generates revenue, so you probably would end up paying something.

It is hard to answer when you do not identify your jurisdiction. My experience is that in most courts in California a registration violation is treated as a "fix-it" ticket, and if you show up in court with proof of registration it will be dismissed.
