Answer 4

If you're not selling the old car,
Are you going to keep it on the road?
If No,then cancel the insurance on it
and get insurance for the new car and take the new ID,the license plated,and all the documents for both cars and go to
the DMV,ask to transfer the old plates to
the new car and fill out the new car registration....Now,it's all set for the new
car.....Now,if you want to keep the old car on the road....then, Register it with a brand
new license plated and don't forget about
the insurance .


Go to the DMV and take the documents
of both cars including the personalized
license plates with you.

Answer 5

Contact the DMV (I believe that is what you folks in the States call it), and tell them you would like to reassign the plate, and apply for plates for the old car.

You'll have to answer a bunch of questions and prove you are the registered owner. (The questons mainly dealing with the make, model, colour and year of the new car... ;) )

Answer 6

Just take it off the other guy's car, replace it with your own, and nobody's the wiser. I mean who ever checks their plate anyway.
