Is A Front License Plate Required If In Another State?

Question

I have a car issued in Minnesota, which requires a front license plate. I now live in Georgia, which doesn't require front plates, but still have MN plates. Must I keep it on? I have a sporty car and would rather not have it.

Answer 1

If you now live in Georgia than you need to register your vehicle in Georgia (normally within 30-60 days of transferring your residence)

If the question is dual residence, than you need to follow the license plate rules for the state your vehicle is registered in.

Granted, I doubt a Georgia officer is going to know (or care) that Minnesota requires two plates, however, your question is whether or not it is required.

Answer 2

You must keep the front plate if it's required in your home state. Since the plates are from Minnesota, you must follow their licensing laws.

There are also laws about how long you have after you move to switch your registration and license. Look into it or you could end up in trouble over paperwork.

Answer 3

Yes, Of course you must display your front minnesota license plate

Answer 4

1. If your permanent residence is now Georgia, you should title and register your car in Georgia.  It's the law.

2. If the state issues you two plates, you must use them both, no matter what state you happen to be driving in.

Answer 5

No. Do not put the old plate from MN. on your vehicle. Your vehicle is now registered in a State that only requires (and issues) one plate ( to be placed on the rear of the vehicle ). Even if you were to enter a State that requires a plate front & rear, you will be legal because you are only required (by State law) to have a plate on the rear of your vehicle. I live in Arizona, which also only issues one plate to be placed on the rear of a vehicle. Hope this helps.
