History

Current law provides that the Motor Vehicle Division issues Temporary Registration Plates (TRP) to automobile dealers free of charge. The TRPs are made of a heavy weight paper with a metal security strip in the middle. TRPs are issued in ‘books’ to the authorized dealer. When selling a vehicle without a plate on an expired registration, the dealer completes the TRP and attaches it to the vehicle.

Electronic recording will allow a dealer to access MVD’s computer registration site and enter the TRP information on MVD’s registration system.
