I live in RI. I sold my car and kept the plates and registration. Do I need to do anything else? I plan on getting a new vehicle in the next 2 weeks. Do I need to cancel my registration? Is there a time period that I have to transfer my plates/registration?
How do I transfer my plates from my old car to my new car
As long as the name on the registration is the same, you shouldn't run into any problems.
Visit your local DMV branch with your registration, current driver's license and proof of insurance.
The fee for a plate transfer is $16.50, plus surcharges like tax and technology fees.
Note that DMV will only issue you a new registration; you'll have to physically transfer the plates on your own.
