License Plate

lpan · 03-04-2008, 03:44 PM

How long does it take for a license plate to be manufactured and delivered to the dealership?

My car was registered with the state on Feb. 28th, and I have a temporary paper that is valid until March 16th.

Wondering when i can get real plates...

If I remember correctly it was 3-4 weeks in NJ.
Just make sure all your documents have no typos!
Like BNW instead of BMW.

WHAT?!

3 weeks? Then my temporary license plate would be expired (Only valid for 3 weeks)! What am i going to do then?

I got mine in 1 month.. it's fine driving with the temporary paper as long you don't get pull over. Drive safe..

Just depends from state to state.
In Michigan, it took 2-3 weeks.
In Arizona, I went to the DMV to register, the women handed me a plate from a stack sitting on her desk.

I just got mine in the mail today, 15 days after I picked up the car.

In Louisiana, our temps r good for 60 days; a financed car takes longer to get real plates than cash - cash cars take 10-12 days but 60 days is how long DMV has to get them to u
