Transit Plate Registration Wizard

Use the Transit Plate Registration Wizard to create and issue temporary paper transit plates, providing temporary registration for the purpose of moving to specified destinations certain vehicles that are otherwise required to be registered.  For a $12 fee, one permit per vehicle may be issued for a one-time move from point A to point B only.  For a $25 fee, one permit per vehicle may be issued for a one-time move from point A to point B and then return to point A (round-trip), including any intermediate points specified in the permit.  Transit plates are only valid for ten days, which means the expiration date should be ten days from the effective date.

Notes:

• You must assign a Transit Plate class code, such as, TP1 or TP2.

• Transit plates can be processed by towns who have an 1(B) authorization level.

• You can only issue one transit plate permit, either a one-way permit or round-trip permit to a motor vehicle or trailer. Any subsequent moves require registration of the vehicle or trailer.  Exception: If a one-way permit is purchased and then the customer wishes to move the vehicle round-trip, you can issue a subsequent transit plate for the return trip.
