If my tags are up for renewal...and I am behind on my payment ... can I still get new tags?

Question

I bought a car at this buy here pay here place in Florida. I am late 2 payments, because I lost my job and could not pay. Now it is almost June, and I will have all the money later this month. So I am avoiding my lender until then. But if by chance I can't pay...can I still renew my tags with the DMV. Are they going to report my car stolen? Or since the registration is in my name....they can not do that. Please help!!

Answer 1

The DMV does not care what you financial status is. Just go get your tags.

Answer 2

Your registration has nothing to do with your payments. They are two completely separate issues.

Answer 3

I'm not sure if it is the same in every state but Indiana doesn't even check to see if your insurance is valid.  Go get your tags!  All the bmv wants to know if you have the money you owt them.
