So You got the tag in the mail today right? You put it on, as soon as you got it, right? You reported it right when you got it or after you put it in, right?

If I can just ask, why do you think you will be arrested? Why would you turn yourself in, basically telling them anything? At the end of the day your vehicle got the tag today and you put it on today.

I am confused.

I would register the tag that is affixed to the vehicle, then update that registration to the new tag once it arrives and is affixed.

I would not register a tag that is not affixed to the vehicle nor in your possession.

R-
Not sure if you can but I would try to have both the Temp and the New Tag registered. Try to put the vehicle on there twice. Better to do that than risk it.

Next month is mine

Yea this time was quick. Told the guy is my 42nd time he asked me of any changes I said No, because I already do mine via the portal. Told him same house, same work two phones, two emails 5 identifiers no boats or Rv’s. He said thumb print and sign printer was behind him handed me my stuff said see you in January brother. That was it.

Not un-common. When I go in, they do not tell us anything. No updates or nothing. They check us in, have us sign and send us on our way. They ask if we have any changes is about the only thing. I cannot remember a single time they have given us any changes to the laws.

If not for F.A.C I would not know 98% of what is going on with the registry laws, ordinances, rules, changes, updates etc. etc. The only ones that matter to me anyway are those that are retroactively applied. I think F.A.C stated that some of them only apply if you move, as otherwise you are grandfathered in.
For example, they changed the closeness to being to a school and I live walking distance to one but have lived here for 19 years now. It was 1000 feet. Its funny, we can live 1001 feet from a school but not 1000. I am sure that extra foot would deter someone LOL

Little different where I go. Tuesday-Thursday only. But I get there 15 before they open. Chit chat with the other guy who gets there. 8:00 slide my license under the class, say good morning and sit down. usually called 5 minutes after I sit down and then am usually with the person 3 to 5 minutes and then out of there. I always Ask how they are doing. And then it’s you still living here, yes since 2003, still working here yes last 8 years. I have only added 1 new vehicle. Everything else is almost the same as Jan, and last July etc. etc. I have deleted the identifiers i no longer use and once my Microsoft account fully opts out, I will have 3 identifiers. and 2 are work and 1 is eBay.

Still extremely nerve wracking every time. Last time i was there i made the comment “This is my 41st time doing this.” The lady looked at the other lady and said, “That is a long time.” I replied, “Yes, your tell me.”

To think 15 to 20 minutes twice a year causes all this angst. Unless I am the only one who gets paranoid.

You did perfect. You got the tag, you registered the tag, you put the tag on. I would call DMV or take it to DMV and turn it in.
