License plates as well as your own drivers license are surrendered at your new states Department of Motor Vehicles. Ck the local phone book for information. Do not wait, you can get yourself in serious trouble for failing to change your vehicle as well as your drivers license.
Your inspection in the state u use to live is not always valid in the new state. Immediately, when you moved most states give u a short less than 4 wks grace period to get moved & things reregistered in new state. Some have no grace period. U have to notify your car insurance company too.
Exceptions are military families and some college students... but even they may have provisional requirements. If ph book doesn't help, call local property tax office in the town u live. They will direct u and the police r good to direct u to correct office for new state.

Generally, when you change permenant addresses that includes changing states you are given 30 days to register your car in that state. Your inspection is a bit different as it will be valid until the expiration date (in most states).
You also have 30 days to changes your Driver's License as well. In Texas when you get your DL changed you can also register to vote at the same time/place.
Soo... I suggest you pick a day during the week and gather up about $100 which should cover the cost of the plates, DL fees and an inexpensive lunch!
Good luck!

They usually give you about 30 days to change them IF you come from a reciprocity state (one that gives the same privilege to people from their state). If you get stopped or get into an accident after that time but before you changed them they can charge you with driving an unregistered vehicle.
And yes you will probably lose money on the inspection, the insurance, and the plates even if you notify your old state and send back the plates.

It depends upon the insurance agency but I doubt it. Your parents will need to contact their insurance company to inquire. You could possibly keep the same insurance by not registering the car in the state that you're moving to (keep the plates that you have), at least for a temporary period of time. For example if you're going to be attending school in this other state. I believe that once you move to another state (for example if you're planning to move there permanently) then you have so many month's (usually six) before you have to register your car with that state. You really need to talk with your parents about it though. Good luck to you.

Every state is different but on average it is 30 days for your license plate and drivers license.

Most states require a change of address, drivers license, registration of vehicle within 30 days.
A lot of people don't do it right away and risk the chance of being ticketed.

I think that would all depend on the state you're living in. Here in Iowa, I believe you have thirty days from the time you first establish a residence here in Iowa that you need to get Iowa plates. I would recommend that you check with the county treasurer, or whoever takes care of that in the state where you live to find out what the exact rules are.
