When will I get my permanent license plate and registration?
AutoNation starts the process of getting your permanent license plates and registration with the DMV immediately after your agreement has been signed and you have picked up your car. The timing of when you will receive your permanent license plate and registration is dependent on how quickly the DMV can process our request, but typically takes a number of weeks.
In California, your temporary license plate and registration is valid for at least 90 days. To see the most current timelines, please refer directly to the California DMV website.
In Florida, your temporary license plate and registration is valid for at least 30 days. To see the most current timelines, please refer directly to the Florida HSMV website. In some cases, your permanent plates may be behind your temporary license plate.
