Temporary Plates

Temporary plates are short-term license tags issued by authorities that allow a vehicle to be legally driven while the permanent registration or official plates are being processed. They typically last for a specified period, such as 30 or 60 days, providing immediate proof of registration. This ensures the vehicle can be legally operated on roads while waiting for permanent plates to be issued, whether from purchase, registration transfer, or other administrative processes. Temporary plates are usually displayed prominently, often in paper form or temporary stickers, and are essential for compliance with traffic laws during the transitional period.
