Can temporary car tags travel across different states?
I just got a new car and haven’t received the new tags yet, but I’m still well within the permitted time frame to have the temporary ones. My friends and I are taking a road trip to Oregon soon. Can my temporary car tags travel across a few different states?

Temporary car tags can travel across different states. As long as your
car is currently registered
and your temporary tags are still valid, you’re good to go!If you’ll still be out of state when your temporary tags are set to expire, be sure to file an extension with your state before you leave. Driving with an expired temporary tag is against the law and can result in a ticket and even vehicle impoundment.
Keep in mind: In most states, temporary tags are good for 30 days, but extensions up to 60 or even 90 days are sometimes available.
To find out if you will need or qualify for an extension, check with your home state’s Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV).
