My car's registration expired in November of 2012 and I never renewed because I could not pass emissions. I drove all last summer on expired plates with no fucks given.

I have all of the paperwork and documentation to get an emissions exemption based on my car being a "show car" with verification through my insurance policy. The problem is I want new plates, but I cannot get new plates until I renew my current plates.

I am trying to avoid having to pay for 2 years worth of registration. Is there a way around this or am I fooked?

Why would you need to renew the current plates? I always thought that once they expired you could just re-register.

I am trying to buy new plates online and it is asking me to renew my current plates.

Same. I applied for custom plates yesterday but my current tags expired in January. Told me I couldnt apply until I took care of my current expired tags.

I'd try to tell them that you sold it to some guy and he didn't do anything with it and you bought it back , it's not your fault he never transferred the title

Yeah, you pretty much have to renew and then buy the new ones. If it they weren't expired, you could extend the renewal by 4 months but you can only do it once and on one car. I had to do that with the Mustang when I got my Marine Corps plates.

Well, that's stupid. I'll be looking to do the same thing for my 92 SHO.

In indiana, if u still own the car and skip a year for plates you have to be current on plates before getting new plates, so basically your screwed and have to catch up on back taxes.

Thanks guys.

Well anyway new plates will say NOVI 46.

Thoughts?

Dunno about all that. Didn't register the ranger for two years- Went and got it smogged and walked into a currency exchange the same day, got new plates no questions asked.

Try telling them you were rebuilding car and it was not functioning. You might have to apply for completly new plates instead of renewing the current ones.

I am going to try and do that!

 

[SinisterSHO]

You're trying to get new plates tho.

You're trying to get new plates tho.

I am confused, did you misread Gladiator's post?

When you pay for the one sticker and then get new plates they will send a sticker with the new plates with the same exp month. I did that with my riski plate and didn't have to pay twice.

that's exactly what i did with my bike. except mine really wasnt on the road at the time.
my plates were two years expired, i told them i was in the process of restoring it and they let me re-register it with new plates

 

[greasy]

Can the currency exchange help with getting the vanity plates?

 

[utryd2]

No they will just submit it for you and charge you a fee for it

So do you recommend me going through the DMV?

Have a friend with an 03 Cobra that couldnt get passed either and drove expired last year......He still cannot find ins. to list show car, what co. did you go through so I can tell him to try them. I thought he tried them all.

Best bet is to call. When I had the Vette held hostage for the couple years I didn't pay for the plates and they wanted me to pay for 3 yrs to get the new sticker. I called the secretary of state and was able to release my plates and get them back. Just paid new plates fee and one sticker. Sounds like the same deal for you but just get the new plates. Call my man.

Allstate did it for me, even insured my mods
