Expired/Suspended Registration

[SkyStorm82]

Her insurance expired. Starting in 06, if you don't have insurance, your registration gets "suspended". She wants to get her insurance up and running, pay the "reinstatement" fee (14 bucks), but her renewal came in and her registration will expire while on the road. She is staying in Florida, so she doesn't want to pay the renewal (180 bucks) since she won't be coming back to California.

Are you sure? I think I remember you can register a vehicle without having insurance.....but there's already a section for not having insurance. I can't see how a registration can get "suspended". Maybe she means she cant renew it???

If DMV knows that she doesn't have insurance and "suspended" her registration, you might want to tell her to check on the status of her drivers license as well. Who knows what else she might have forgotten to do. The registration might not be the only thing that's suspended.

I'd check into what Ironcross said. Call the DMV and see if they can issue some kind of temporary permit so she can use the car to move to another state...

I'll ask her if she has any unpaid tickets...

This just reminded me of Fantasy Island. Remember Harve Villechaize saying "di plane" maybe a better idea. I'm beginning to doubt her vehicle will make it to Florida.

You might be right...haha

She told me she has some failure to appear on some old tickets...definately has a suspended license by now. I told her to get that stuff taken care of because its not gonna go away.

Well...thanks anyways guys!

Suspended reg can be caused by a bunch of different things. Not having proof of ins, failure to smog your vehicle, ect...

Maybe have her call the DMV in FL, and see how you or someone in FL can help her? Maybe they can go pay the fees there, and register it? Not sure if the vehicle has to be there in the state of FL when registered?

Trying to think out of the box, and help her be legal.

If it's like NV when we moved here, the VIN has to be verified by DMV.

Ya, not sure in FL. But, sounds like her license and registration are suspended. She might just need to fly there and take care of all this. I flew my daughter there (ya, dad paid) a few times and is was cheap back in the day. Might be a better route.

Expired registration is cvc 4000(a) and you can get cited on the first day of expiration then get towed when it's over six months expired. But we just got some new bulletin from DMV about it so I'll update info when I get to work and read the memo. Give me a few hours.

I bought a new truck in January. Sent proof of insurance to DMV about two days later after my agent had added it to the policy. Several weeks later I received written notice of non-receipt from DMV. Gave me 30 days to respond or else the registration on the truck would be suspended. Sent it again, problem solved.

It's all about getting the VLF into their pocket and attaching financial responsibility to the vehicle.

DMV is no longer sending out renewals 60-90 days in advance.
They are now sending out renewals THE DAY OF expiration.
You have 30 days to pay without penalty, and the DMV web site says that LE is being instructed not to cite for 60 days.


But that's California.


She drives through Louisiana with expired California tags and all bets are off!

Actually, I just read the memo from DMV and it says we are not to cite until the first day of the second month following expiration and everyone gets thirty days grace period.

The example given is if we pulled someone over for expired registration on july 15, we can't cite until september 1.

This happy horse **** ends at the end of this year so business resumes next year on citing for expired registration unless they extend this extension.

The whole purpose is Brown is hoping that we vote to extend the increased VLF in November so people won't be paying January renewals in September.

Funny, they used to WANT your money early. Go to the DMV 90 days before expiration to pay the $20 to get a new tag for the one someone stole? Nope... you're renewing today!

Not anymore.
