What do I need to do with my plates?

Vehicle owners must remove the license plate(s) from their vehicle whenever the vehicle is sold or transferred. The plates must be turned into a registration office before cancelling the insurance for the vehicle.  

Is there anything else I need to do?

You may need to notify the DMV that you sold your vehicle in order to complete the transfer process.
