How do you transfer plates from one car to another?
I’m buying a new car that’s used, but I want to keep my old license plate. How do I transfer it to the new car?

At the DMV
While the process can vary from state to state, you’ll usually need:
- Your driver’s license
- Application for Registration
- Payment for fees
At the dealership
If you’re purchasing a vehicle through a dealership and trading in your old car, the dealership may do the transfer for you. They require the same information as the DMV but can help get the process moving and save you time.
