I have an extra vehicle I’ve kept registered and insured. I’m in a different state now. I’m not going to turn off the insurance until it’s unregistered.

The omv website has a page to cancel the plate and makes no mention of turning the plate in. I don’t want a flag on my license. The website asks for all the info and says I’ll get an email when the cancellation is finalized.

I always thought you had to “turn the plate in.” Is that not necessarily a thing?

I know different states can have different rules. I’m just kind of not trying to doxx myself here.

What do you know about this?

I know I have about 5 old out of state plates in my garage and have never suffered repercussions from it...

Any of them say anything cool? This one had spelled a word which was cool.

When I moved to Ohio I kept the Texas plates until they expired and then I registered the vehicle in Ohio. BMV didn't care. I have the old plates in a box somewhere. They never asked for them. All they wanted was the title so they could issue one for Ohio.

Yeah. OMV seems to just say destroy your own plates across the board.

I just don’t trust the process with these kinds of government workers. There’s a fat, angry nigger somewhere seeing my Germanic ass name and wants to sabotage me.

I've collected Illinois and Texas plates from people I know who moved to the UEoO and subsequently registered their car(s) here, and Ohio never wants plates back. One of these days I'm going to tack them all up in the garage.

Random but I saw a man driving an older corvette and the license plate said something like “l8rboys.”

Gay! (Probably his wife’s car)

Maybe he's having a mid-life crisis and going through his "Am I a dicksucker" phase.

He's probably totally a faggot with a beard.

Depends on the state, California and Texas, issue the plates to the vehicle not the owner, they don't want them back. Indiana issues the plates to the person, they do want them back.

I pulled the trigger and filled out the form on the OMV website. It went well, surprisingly.

It told me to destroy the plate. Fair enough.

I’m still going to wait a few days to cancel the insurance.

I took screenshots of every step and already received confirmation in an email.
