Si vendes tu auto pero quieres usar sus placas en otro auto, puedes hacerlo. Solo tienes que solicitarlo al departamento de vehículos y pagar una pequeña tarifa.
Es como si vendieras tu bicicleta y quisieras usar el casco que tenías con ella en tu nueva bicicleta. Solo necesitas pedir permiso y asegurarte de que todo esté en regla.
Imagina que Juan vende su viejo auto y compra uno nuevo. Él quiere usar las mismas placas del auto viejo en el nuevo, así que va al departamento de vehículos, paga $2 y sigue los pasos necesarios para hacer la transferencia.
Va. Code § 46.2-1543 - Use of old license plates and registration number on another vehicle. An owner who sells or transfers a registered motor vehicle may have the license plates and the registration number transferred to another vehicle titled in the owner's name according to the provisions of Chapter 6 (§ 46.2-600 et seq.), which is in a like vehicle category as specified in § 46.2-694 and requires an identical registration fee, on application to the Department accompanied by a fee of $2 or, if the other vehicle requires a greater registration fee than that for which the license plates were assigned, on the payment of a fee of $2 and the amount of the difference in registration fees between the two vehicles, all such transfers to be in accordance with the regulations of the Department. All fees collected under this section shall be paid by the Commissioner into the state treasury and shall be set aside as a special fund to be used to meet the expenses of the Department. For purposes of this section, a motor vehicle dealer licensed by the Board may be authorized to act as an agent of the Department for the purpose of receiving, processing, and approving applications from its customers for assignment of license plates and registration numbers pursuant to this section, using the forms and following the procedures prescribed by the Department. The Commissioner, on determining that the provisions of this section or the directions of the Department are not being complied with by a dealer, may suspend, after a hearing, the authority of the dealer to receive, process, and approve the assignment of license plates and registration numbers pursuant to this section. The provisions of this section shall also apply to watercraft trailers and watercraft trailer dealers. 1988, c. 8
No, solo puedes transferir las placas a un vehículo que sea del mismo tipo y categoría que el que vendiste.
La tarifa básica es de $2, pero si el nuevo vehículo tiene una tarifa de registro más alta, deberás pagar la diferencia.
Puedes hacerlo tú mismo, pero también puedes pedir ayuda a un concesionario de autos autorizado que actúe como agente del departamento.
