During the registration year for which license plates are issued, the person may apply to the Registrar to use the plates on another vehicle registered in the same person’s name. Persons may display plates on a newly acquired vehicle for up to a maximum of 14 days from the date on the ownership document(s), e.g. bill of sale. After the 14 days, the client must transfer the license plate/registration to the new vehicle or apply for a new license plate/registration.
When the ownership of a registered vehicle passes by act of the owner or by operation of law, the new owner must return the license plates to the Registrar if the previous registered owner does not remove the license plates.
When a vehicle is registered to a lessor and lessee, the license plates should be in the lessee’s possession.
When a dealer takes possession of a motor vehicle to sell it on behalf of the owner, the owner must remove the license plates and retain or cancel them.
