As the title suggests, I’m trying to register a car I just got with plates that I already have. For context, I had to buy a beater last year but ended up selling it shortly after getting it registered.

The catch, is that it was the 1980 plates so they had to mail them and I sold the car before I ever got the plates. I immediately contacted the DMV to cancel the registration after it was sold, so the plates aren’t tied to any other registration.

From what I’ve read, it should be possible to use these plates on the new car but am I able to maneuver that into this new online system, or am I better off just setting up an Appointment and handling it in person?

I can’t seem to find how I’d go about the process, under these specific circumstances, but everything I’ve read on the website so far suggest that as long as I own the plates I should be able to use them.

Any tips are appreciated. Thanks.
