Registration

I am buying a TT in Michigan in April but will not return to my home state of AZ for 3 months. I can only get a 15 day temp plate in MI and AZ ADOT could not offer a solution. Anyone out there ever done this or can anyone help me?
  • I wouldn't just mail the paper work to your home state and have it titled there. Then have them mail your plates to the other address. Or once you have it titled you can get a license plate registration only for where you are.
  • Could you have your insurance agent do it for you? Mine does my renewal each year.

    Would it be possible to mail the info to AZ DMV along with a check and they could mail the plate back? I have a seasonal that I tag in the state it resides and I do the renewal by mail.
  • I was in this situation when purchasing from a dealer. He gave me several blank temporary plates. I just dated them as needed.

    Bill
  • Yes I talked with Michigan DOT, they offered no solutions and they have a 30 max on temp "plates". Neither MI or AZ has an answer. Surely there is a solution to this problem. Anyone??
  • Are you buying private party or dealer? If dealer, they MIGHT be able to issue you a longer temp plate...IDK for sure.
    Did you call the Secretary of State (MI DMV) 888-SOS-MICH.
