Same here. MD you can have the new tags on before you drive off the lot. You can go to the DMV and do it yourself or have them shipped. But why?

 

About 4-6 weeks in ga. Dealer turns your info over to dmv, then you get a letter from the dealer stating that your registration has been accepted, and you need to take your *** to what ever county it is registered in and pick up plate, or decal for an old plate.

 

it all depends on how the title is being transferred here...

 

Off the old truck onto the new truck and drive away.

 

About a month and a week, dealer called up and plates and tags have arrived 👍

 

In live in good ole "Corporate" Delaware. Sales Tax on new or used vehicles is 3.75% right off the bat. Then there is a title, registration, and tag fee charged by the state, plus any document/administrative fees that the dealer may charge. With a new vehicle you usually pay the dealer, and they handle everything. You'll get a 90 day T-tag. New vehicles start with five year tags. The dealer will call you after they register the vehicle. Then you go pick up your tags from them. Time frame depends on how quick the dealer gets it done. But in my experience that's usually about a month. But it has to be done within the 90 days otherwise. After the initial five year tags run out, You then have to renew your tags. The vehicle has to go thru the lanes to be inspected. You renew the tags for two years. I've heard somewhere that newer vehicles can tag for three years. But I can't say for sure. If you buy a used vehicle, it depends on where you buy it. Usually, when buying a used vehicle from a dealer, they will still handle the paper work and tags. If it's a Delaware vehicle with current tags, the dealer will give you T-tags. They call you after they have the title, registration and tags transferred to you. Then you go pick them up. You run on the current tags till they run out. Then you run the vehicle thru inspection and renew your own tags. If you've financed it I think the finance company holds title till you've paid it off. Or if it's a "Buy here, Pay here" dealer they will hold title. If the plates are not current, or if it is an out of state vehicle, the vehicle has to be run thru the inspection lanes. So, all told, Five years for new, then for two years after that, possibly three for newer vehicles.

 

NM. I got my tags same day. Walked 'em through MVD. Could have let dealer do it, but I did not want the paper TEMP tag in the window,

 

This was my question as well. folks have to wait for plates?


Ohio - drive to the DMV. walk out with plates. This is if you do not have plates to transfer.


Then it takes as long as it takes to remove 2 screws and replace.

 

In LA. Dealer gives you a 60 day tag, but dealer will call you when plate comes in, about 4 weeks, or if you purchase away from town they will mail tag to you.

 

Here in Ontario, most "Driver and Vehicle Licensing" offices are even open on saturdays. Granted, only from 09:00-14:00 or something, and busier than a disney land theme park.
