I own a vehicle with CA personalized license plate. I’m planning to buy additional vehicle (not selling current one). I want to reassign personalized license plate to the new vehicle. What the process? The most unclear part is how I get a new license plates for the current vehicle.

    Contact the DMV (I believe that is what you folks in the States call it), and tell them you would like to reassign the plate, and apply for plates for the old car.

    You’ll have to answer a bunch of questions and prove you are the registered owner. (The questons mainly dealing with the make, model, colour and year of the new car… ;) )

    If you’re not selling the old car,
    Are you going to keep it on the road?
    If No,then cancel the insurance on it
    and get insurance for the new car and take the new ID,the license plated,and all the documents for both cars and go to
    the DMV,ask to transfer the old plates to
    the new car and fill out the new car registration….Now,it’s all set for the new
    car…..Now,if you want to keep the old car on the road….then, Register it with a brand
    new license plated and don’t forget about
    the insurance .

    Go to the DMV and take the documents
    of both cars including the personalized
    license plates with you.

    Just take it off the other guy’s car, replace it with your own, and nobody’s the wiser. I mean who ever checks their plate anyway.
