MVC
DISCONTINUES LICENSE PLATE DECALS
As of October 1, 2004, registration decals for passenger vehicles will no
longer be required on both the front and rear license plates.
However, commercial vehicles and motorcycle owners will still be
required to adhere registration decals to their license plate(s).
NEW
VEHICLE REGISTRATION PROGRAM
October
1, 2004, the Motor Vehicle Commission
implemented the Four Year Accelerated Registration Program.
Upon the initial registration of all new vehicles, the owners will
be required to make full payment of their registration fee for the
four-year period.
The same rule applies for leasing a new
vehicle. Whether you
have a 12, 24, or 36 month lease, you will be required to make the full
four year registration payment.
Refunds will not be allowed for any unused
portion of the four-year registration.
However, an owner may be able to transfer the license plates to a
different vehicle for a $4.50 transfer fee, plus any prorated increase due
to a change in weight class of the vehicle, such as moving from a sedan to
an SUV.
This
program, along with the 2002 initiative to extend inspections for new
vehicles to four years will enable MVC to coordinate the terms of
registrations and inspections. For
example, registrations and inspections for new vehicles purchased after
October 1, 2004 will now expire on the same date.
