License Plate Reassignment
Most states allow transferring license plates from one vehicle to another, provided you're the owner and it's the same class of vehicle. The difference lies in the reassignment requirements. Each state maintains different stipulations, regulations and even fees. Before transferring a license plate, know the rules. Contact your DMV.
