Can i mail my license plates to dmv in louisiana
According to the Louisiana Office of Motor Vehicles (OMV), you can indeed mail your license plates to them, but there are some specific requirements and guidelines you should follow:
- Make sure you're eligible: Check your vehicle's registration status and ensure you're not required to surrender your plates in person. Some situations, like a vehicle being sold or traded, may require you to surrender the plates in person.
- Use the correct mailing address: Send your license plates to: Louisiana Office of Motor Vehicles P.O. Box 64861 Baton Rouge, LA 70896-4861
- Use a secure and trackable shipping method: Use a shipping method that provides tracking and insurance, such as USPS Priority Mail or UPS. This will help ensure your plates arrive safely and can be tracked if there are any issues.
- Include a completed form: Attach a completed Form R-1309, "Surrender of License Plates," to the outside of the envelope. You can download and print this form from the OMV website or obtain one from your local OMV office.
- Include a self-addressed, stamped envelope: If you want your new plates or a replacement plate to be mailed back to you, include a self-addressed, stamped envelope with your request.
- Pay any applicable fees: If you're surrendering your plates due to a vehicle being sold or traded, you may need to pay a fee for the plate surrender. Check the OMV website for more information on fees.
Remember to carefully package your license plates to prevent damage during shipping. If you have any questions or concerns, you can contact the OMV at (225) 925-6146 or visit their website at www.expresslane.org.
