License plates go to the manufacturer only? How does that work when a used car is sold between individuals?
In the US, I don’t need the manufacturer (or dealer) to get a plate - I just go to the DMV on my own.
- Hamuko 3y agoYou don't need to deal with license plates when you buy a used car? If the car is registered for road traffic, it'll have a set of plates with it.
- alistairSH 3y agoNot in the US - plates stay with the owner (or get returned to the local DMV) when a car is sold. Sounds like Sweden is the opposite - plates move with the car. Which sort of makes more sense to me. Except most of the cars I've owned have come from out-of-state, so I'd need new plates anyways (plates are issued at the state level, not national in the US).
- yencabulator 3y agoFor what it's worth, plates go with the car in many US states too.
- piva00 3y agoYou don't own the plates and transfer them between cars in Sweden, they are sold with the licence plates, and they will be on the car until it gets scrapped. The only exception is for "personal plates" which are customised plates that work as an alias to the car's registered plate (the one attached to the car's VIN), those can be moved to a new car when its VIN is registered to a normal registration plate.
