The same documentation required for an application for new registration is required for a transfer, and the old registration certificate must be returned. If no certificate is returned the two dollar $2.00 duplicate certificate fee must be charged.
The file will be checked to determine that the original registration is valid. Once it has been determined that the registration is valid, the application will be processed as a new registration. Once the registration has been validated the plates may be transferred to the new unit.
Active registrations may be transferred for a fee of eight ($8.00) dollars. Registrations may not be transferred between registrants. For the 25 year program a registrant may transfer an unexpired registration to a semitrailer not previously registered to the registrant in this state. The fee is twenty dollars ($20.00).
