You may have noticed a new license
plate on new vehicles driving around since the new year. This is the new California Temporary Plate. California dealerships are now
required to place a temporary license plate on vehicles sold after January 1,
2019. The new plate will assist law enforcement in identifying vehicles and
will assist authorities with toll evasion violations on our roads. The new
plate is valid for 90 days from the date of sale. "This new law does not
affect private party sales..." per the DMV website.
If a temporary license plate is
expired or not displayed on a vehicle as required, the violation is subject to
citation.
DMV has additional information available on their
website.
